thanks.

yeah, i have the same problem. The script looks like this:

Code: Select all

program Amazon;

uses
  StringUtils1;

var
  AmazonPage: TStringList;
  THolder, MovieName : string;
  LineNr, I: Integer;

function GetToken(aString, SepChar: String; TokenNum: Integer):String;
var
   Token     : string;
   StrLen    : Integer;
   TNum      : Integer;
   TEnd      : Integer;

begin
     StrLen := Length(aString);
     TNum   := 1;
     TEnd   := StrLen;
     while ((TNum <= TokenNum) and (TEnd <> 0)) do
     begin
          TEnd := Pos(SepChar,aString);
          if TEnd <> 0 then
          begin
               Token := Copy(aString,1,TEnd-1);
               Delete(aString,1,TEnd);
               TNum := TNum + 1;
          end
          else
          begin
               Token := aString;
          end;
     end;
     if TNum >= TokenNum then
     begin
          GetToken := Token;
     end
     else
     begin

Today I released a new amazon script, you will find here: viewtopic.php?t=3932

It features a lot more imports and options and should not be broken when amazon websites' layout changes again.. besides it's very fast. Maybe you want to give it a try ?
