I think it's best if I use an example
1) I am using IMDB import with small pic.
2) When I run the script with the Stolen Summer as the original title I get http://us.imdb.com/Tsearch?title=Stolen+Summer in the URL field.
3) When I add extra words to confuse the program between different movies i.e. I type Stolen Endless Summer then the Movie selection menu pops up and everything is fine and I get the correct URL: http://us.imdb.com/Title?0286162
Also sometimes in the movie description fields I get the string of characters "
For example I got this as the first sentence after an import for Bill and Ted's excellent adventure:
Ted "Theodore" Logan and Bill S. Preston esquire won't graduate if they don't do well in their history presentation.
IMDB scripting problem
for the URL, I know that there is this problem, I should solve that someday...
for the bad characters in description, there is a line
PickListAdd(Value);
that follows a
until (pos('</p>', Line) > 0) or (LineNr = Page.Count);
Just before the PickListAdd, add a line with :
HTMLDecode(Value);
it should solve the problem.

the DecodeValue line is there it just doesn't "translate" quotation mark escape sequences like "farmed" back into "farmed"
if you look at the html output the escape sequences will display fine.
q: would it be possible to grab the large pictures from amazon.de instead of .com? maybe have separate scripts for text and images (for different languages) and users can check (checkbox) which combination they want?
...more testing
