Table extraction metadata string

Help Studio

Hi!

Trying to scrape a table in a SAP web application with Table Extraction.

However, for one of the columns i need to dig a little deeper and get the “title” attribute.
This does not seem to work, so i wonder what I’ve missed in the metadata string?

Current metadata string:

<extract-table get_columns_name='1' get_empty_columns='1' columns_name_source='Longest'>
	<column name='Column-0' attr='fulltext' />
	<column name='Column-1' attr='fulltext' />
	<column name='Column-2' attr='title'>
		<webctrl tag='div' />
		<webctrl tag='span' />
	</column>
	<column name='Column-3' attr='fulltext' />
	<column name='Column-4' attr='fulltext' />
	<column name='Column-5' attr='fulltext' />
</extract-table>

Element td in web app:

<td id="grid#C242#1,3" ... >
<div ... >
<span title="Processed" ... >

@mikamol

the inner selector starts after the main selector for table extraction..so generally it should start from td and not only from inside it..as the selector outside would be for table

try adding td as well

cheers
