I'm trying to scrape the metacritic score from IMDB but have been unsuccessful I would think something like this would work: (substituted for region)
--REGION------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#REGION#
#PUT#=0#00#
#STARTREADWEB#
#FINDLINE#=Metascore:#12##ONERROR#=*OK*
#IF# #12#<>#00#
#GOTO#=NOVOTES2
#ENDIF#
#STARTREADWEB#
#FINDLINE#=Metascore:#12##ONERROR#=*STOP*
#FIND#=<a href="criticreviews">#12##ONERROR#=*STOP*
#FIND#=>#11# #ONERROR#=*OK*
#FIND#=<#12# #ONERROR#=*OK*
#TAKEWORD#=#13#,#11#,#12#
#TAKEREGION#=#13#
:NOVOTES2
#ENDREGION#
I would expect it to come back with '79/100' etc. but no luck, I've also tried using other section's code but I'm really out of my element here. Any help would be appreciated. (I have been successful with getting the # of votes with the above but not the metacritic score). |

That because you aren't in the correct line with:
#FINDLINE#=Metascore:#12##ONERROR#=*STOP*
And IMDB put even linebreaks in the middle of html tags sometimes. |

Thank you for your response. That makes sense but I've also tried:
#FINDLINE#=<a href="criticreviews">#12##ONERROR#=*STOP*
or even the full line (which is unique for each movie because it has the number of reviews)
neither of which work. |

It's working here:
--REGION------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#REGION#
#PUT#=0#00#
#STARTREADWEB#
#FINDLINE#=<a href="criticreviews">#12##ONERROR#=*OK*
#IF# #12#==#00#
#GOTO#=NOVOTES2
#ENDIF#
#STARTREADWEB#
#FINDLINE#=<a href="criticreviews">#12##ONERROR#=*STOP*
#FIND#=<a href="criticreviews">#12##ONERROR#=*STOP*
#FIND#=>#11# #ONERROR#=*OK*
#FIND#=<#12# #ONERROR#=*OK*
#TAKEWORD#=#13#,#11#,#12#
#TAKEREGION#=#13#
:NOVOTES2
#ENDREGION# |

| Thank you so much Prinz. I have been banging my head against the wall trying to figure this out. Later I will post code for other fields I've successfully scraped for anyone who wants it. |

I am still looking for some scripting manual to learn how to fix this properly but in the mean time I managed to make it work for me with section below:
--REGION------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#REGION#
#PUT#=0#00#
#RESTOREMAIN#
#STARTREADWEB#
#FINDLINE#=Metacritic.com#12##ONERROR#=*OK*
#IF# #12#==#00#
#GOTO#=ENDTAKEREGION
#ENDIF#
#FIND#=Metacritic.com#11##ONERROR#=*STOP*
#FIND#=>#11# #ONERROR#=*OK*
#FIND#=/#12# #ONERROR#=*OK*
#TAKEWORD#=#13#,#11#,#12#
#TAKEREGION#=#13#
:ENDTAKEREGION
#RESTOREMAIN#
#ENDREGION#

Looks like the same stuff can also be used to repair the section below:
--META CRITICS RATING------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#REVIEWS#
#PUT#=0#00#
#RESTOREMAIN#
#STARTREADWEB#
#FINDLINE#=Metacritic.com#12##ONERROR#=*OK*
#IF# #12#==#00#
#GOTO#=ENDREVIEWS
#ENDIF#
#FIND#=Metacritic.com#11##ONERROR#=*STOP*
#FIND#=>#11# #ONERROR#=*OK*
#FIND#=/#12# #ONERROR#=*OK*
#TAKEWORD#=#13#,#11#,#12#
#FINDLINE#=Metacritic.com#12##ONERROR#=*OK*
#IF# #12#==#00#
#GOTO#=ENDREVIEWS
#ENDIF#
#FIND#=Metacritic.com#11##ONERROR#=*STOP*
#COMPUTECURSOR#=+17
#PUTCURSOR#=#11#
#COMPUTECURSOR#=+3
#PUTCURSOR#=#12#
#TAKEWORD#=#14#,#11#,#12#
#STRING#=#14#=Meta critics: #13#/100 (#14# critics)
#TRIM#
#TAKEREVIEW#=#14#
:ENDREVIEWS
#ENDREVIEWS#
