Settings
Profile settings
From
the menu, choose Settings|Profile
Settings. The various settings are
explained below. These settings are
specific to the current profile you are
using.
Use Browser
Allows you to choose the type of
engine used to download web pages.
Use Internet Explorer for normal
browsing. It will use the IE cache and
coockie mechanisms.
Use internal browser when you
want to use basic autentication.
Internet Explorer does not support that
in HH. The internal browser does
not use internal cache, so it might be
more accurate (albeit slower).
Beware that using a different browser
can yield different html (do a source
preview to find out).
Use POST method
to query servers
For use with Internal Engine only.
Instead of getting data via the http GET
method, this is done by a POST.
Sometimes this is the only way to get to
secured pages.
Basic
authentication
If the web page requires
authentication, fill in thed user name
and password here.
Compare string
case sensitive
Compare strings case sensitive. For
example: td
doesn't match TD,
only TD
matches TD.
Ignore line
feed character
The line feed character (#10) is ignored
in extracting text. In effect, it is
removed from every downloaded web page.
Best left enabled.
Ignore carriage
return character
The carriage return character (#13) is
ignored in extracting text. In effect,
it is removed from every downloaded web
page. Best left enabled.
Ignore tab
character
The tab character (#8) is ignored in
extracting text. In effect, it is
removed from every downloaded web page.
Best left enabled.
Remove HTML
characters from harvested results
The HTML is removed from results. So,
<font color=red>a
red text</font> will yield
a red text.
Convert HTML
characters to ASCII characters
Converts HTML chars to ASCII. For
example, "
will yield ",
will yield a space.
Clean up empty
rows after harvesting
Removes rows without any data from the
data grid. Sometimes empty rows are left
by the Advanced Mode rule engine;
enabling this removes them.
Autosize cells
after harvesting
Cells in the data grid are scaled to
accomodate the information they contain.
Right mouse click above the data grid to
make manual adjustments.
