      Fist I'd like to say hi (this is my first post) :) really happy with the software...very easy to get going with it.

      My project is fairly simple:

      I'm trying to use the "download from web" action to get a webpage store it into a variable and write the text to an HTML file...

      So...my target webpage to download is:

      https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

      I then store it into a variable and write that variable to a HTML file.

      That works fine....but

      Because I'm located in Israel, the text I get (source code) is from The Hebrew Version of the Google adwords Keyword tool... as if going to: https://adwords.google.co.il/select/KeywordToolExternal

      I unchecked the "Follow Redirection" box in the advanced tab of "download from web" but that didnt change a thing. Furthermore I changed the regional options (under windows control panel) to Country: United States, but that didnt to it either :(

      I know that I can run IE and complete the project that way but I prefer keeping the process hidden (its just more proffessional in my opinion)

      Is there any way to get the results from the webpage I specified with using the "Download From Webpage" action?

      Please help...

      Re: Download From Web ?

       Hi there,

      The problem is that the characters are not being downloaded properly, or that you want the english version of the page? Did you try using an already localized version of the keyword tool? For example, try a link like this: https://adwords.google.co.uk/select/KeywordToolExternal 

      By the way, after you have changed the regional settings (under the windows control panel) you must restart the WinAutomation service in order to get the new regional settings.

      Re: Download From Web ?

      Hi D.M.Altizer - Thanks for the quick reply!

      The problem was that I didnt get an english version of the page. But the localized version from UK works great - Thank you!

       

      Is there anyway to download all of the attached files to?

      I'm trying to automate the process of "digging" into a keyword that gets more than 1000 results/ month by using the download from web action.

       

      Do you think such a thing is possible or I'm wasting my time?

       

      The reason I ask is because I cant find a way to save the captch - since the "download from web" only saves the source code and wouldnt let all the images load...
