Hi!

Does anyone know how to extract text from repeated HTML block? For example, this site has 8 school information, can I get all the "School Name", "School Address" without labeling all the name and address by hand? Can we apply some extraction patterns when using Robomaker?

Thanks very much!

Hi tomelf,

Yes you can extract all school informations by using for each tag....

Here's a sample

You have to find the right tag for the loop.

Thanks you all! It works!

And one more question...If the HTML structure in the page (slightly) changed, Can Robomaker detect this change? Or I should manually fix my robot and make it adapt the new version page?

You have to do a manual fix.

Use an rss feed to detect runerrors:

To make a robot more robust you could use the "find -tag" step to set the current tag but this is more work.

Thanks for your answer! I'll try this way!
