Neither choice is great (the other ones that I've tried auto-convert \r\n to \n so it's impossible to test a \r\n string). I don't think there's anyone in particular that's at fault, \r\n causes a messy set of probl

You can step through the FSM on Debuggex by using the sliders :)

Ah, you're likely on a Windows machine. Debuggex will terminate lines depending on your system. So you would need \s\s to match both \r and \n

Author of Debuggex here. Debuggex actually has the /g flag always enabled (the example above happened to have just one match), and it works for JS [1]. Groups for JS are indeed quite tricky. However, they come for free if you implement

This overlay technique works beautifully for guided, interactive tutorials. We've had great success using it in our tutorials to get users quickly up to speed with our product. It works better than the similar "show bubble beside

One of the creators of debuggex here. For javascript, debuggex conforms to the regular expression implementation in google chrome (which is mostly the same as all other browsers). Specifically, a \n in your regex where group n doesn't

Here at ParseHub, we're attacking the problem from another angle. Our tool lets users turn semistructured html (even the complicated, interactive kind) into structured data. The user does this by visually describing relationships in an

One of the founders of ParseHub here. Not quite. Sikuli tries to figure out where things are by doing a visual match. This works very well for things like automating applications or sites where page elements are fixed (e.g. finding an optio

ParseHub itself runs on a highly optimized browser engine. The idea is to give a visual interface so that you don't have to worry about low-level details of how to control the browser. This also makes it easier to reason about the logi

Yes, it does! Check out the interactivity tutorial in the extension.

Great ideas to consider for the future!. We may decide to release an offline version of ParseHub eventually.

We've invested very heavily in building out a solid infrastructure for extracting data. We want to make sure that the product Just Works for our users, and that includes rotating IP addresses (you don't have to fiddle with your ow

That doesn't work because you need the javascript as well.

Sorry about that. We haven't tested with Tor. I hope disabling Tor is suitable for your use case.

We chose Airbnb because the complexity of their site highlights the flexibility of our technology. That being said, we also assumed they wouldn't mind because of their origins :)

Yes, ParseHub works with login forms (they are no different than regular forms). Check out the interactivity tutorial. If you still don't get it after that, I'd be happy to show you 1-on-1 over skype. Please note that the password

Crawling already works :) One of the things that has been heavily marketed by other web scrapers is "crawling" as a separate feature. With ParseHub, all the tools easily combine, so you don't need that distinction. You can us

Sure, I'll give you one example. We want to show a sample immediately as a user changes what they extract. On a static website, this is fairly easy. You simply run what the user created on the currently visible page. However, when you

Chrome extensions run in a severely restricted environment. While this is arguably good for security, it prevents us from building some of the powerful tools we can build in Firefox. We do plan to eventually release as a standalone app with
