I'd like help fixing this Downloader. I am trying to extract earnings data. ie: http://biz.yahoo.com/z/20131028.html

It seems the parser is broken. I've attached the errors below.

Where is the actual pattern matching and parsing done that extracts the data from the html?

Thanks,
Matt

Hi Matt,

The parsing of html data is done using the Pre-Script code (click on "Pre-Script" button).

I have already updated the script and the downloader is working now. Please download it again from the sharing server.
