Ini files

Hello

I've created a new ini for site cinemagia but the problem is i get a warning 

"error downloading page: The request timed out (5sec)".

After that warning webgrabb++(last version) works normally and grab the epg for 2 days in my case.

I've attached the log, config and ini files in archive.

Hi I'm new to webgrab+ and need some bginners help:

I'm trying to get some more data into the description.

As far I got it to work to "add" data at the end e.g.:

                     description.modify {addend('category' not"")|\n /Category: 'category'}

1.) Is there a command / possibility to insert data at the beginning instead to add at the end??

2.) Is there some kind of general repository of commands with syntax?

Thanks for the help in advance

In the uk-sky.com.ini you have

category.scrub {regex||<span class="bubble-programme-genres">(.+?)</span>||}
category.modify {replace|,|\|}

Which gives the below from Entertainment, Action. Replacing the comma with a back slash to split the genres

<category lang="en">Entertainment</category>

<category lang="en">Action</category>

I want to replace the comma with a forward slash to give me Entertainment / Action, but escaping the forward slash or even just leaving as is doesnt work. In all cases i get left with <category lang="en">EntertainmentAction</category>

tried

category.modify {replace|, |/|}

category.modify {replace|, | / |}

category.modify {replace|, | \/ |}

What I want to do is create a few channels with my own general epg data. Something simple like this...

Could I create an INI to pull data from a text file like this? How would this be done? Thanks for your help :)

Hi there, I'm very much a beginner.

I use the dummy file for one channel that only shows one program a day. It works fine but, all the proper other channels grabbed with proper ini files, adds a <icon src="http://whatever.jpg" /> line into each programme.

Seeing as I only have one programme a day, I only need one programme .jpg to show. How can I add a static icon src into the dummy file so that I can produce and display the one single jpg I have on my server for this dummy channel?

Thank you,
Craig..

Hello, Im' new to the forum and also new to WebGrab+Plus ini programing. 

I wanted to test how I could update an existing INI file to add in the output the Channel Number reported by a website. 
For my test I used the first one I stumble upon: virginmedia.com http://webgrabplus.com/epg-channels#s1B6 (original INI files)

So I modify virginmedia.com.ini file to add a new variable in uncommented @auto_xml_channel_start
index_temp_9.scrub {regex||channel-live\\\"><p>(.*?)<\\/p>||}

to attempt to add it to channel name
index_site_channel.modify {addend| 'index_temp_9'}

so I endup with the following

index_site_id.scrub {regex||"([^\"]*)":\{"trans"||}
index_site_id.modify {addend|##'index_variable_element'}
index_temp_9.scrub {regex||channel-live\\\"><p>(.*?)<\\/p>||}
index_site_channel.scrub {regex||span class=\\"channel-logo.*?title=\\"(.+?)\\">||}
index_site_channel.modify {remove|\}
index_site_channel.modify {addend| 'index_temp_9'}

if it is working for the first channel this is remplacing the name of channel starting the second channel by the channel number.

definitly there is something that I still not understood. Any tips will be welcome :-D

Many thanks.

My WebGrab+Plus version is V1.57
