Weird Foreign Characters Http Plugin Xpath Parser

[oricoun 4]

Guys, I would like to transform XML feed into csv file, but I run into trouble of weird characters while getting data from XML, it is all nonsense, and I have no I idea how to go around it:

 

Code:

 

set(#xml, $plugin function("HTTP post.dll", "$http get", "http://www.hrnce-obchod.sk/192fc044e74dffea144f9ac5dc9f3395/heureka_sk_export.xml", "", "", "", 30), "Global")
set(#DESCRIPTION, $plugin function("HTTP post.dll", "$xpath parser", #xml, "//DESCRIPTION", "InnerText", "XML"), "Global")
load html(#DESCRIPTION)

 

Basicaly, it will navigate to:

 

http://www.hrnce-obchod.sk/192fc044e74dffea144f9ac5dc9f3395/heureka_sk_export.xml

 

xpath parser will get "DESCRIPTION"

 

And the result is absolute mess.

 

Any help will be appreciated. THX.

Ubot doesn't play nicely with certain encodings. Especially if you try to display them in their browser.

 

Put this above your code:

plugin command("HTTP post.dll", "http set encoding", "UTF8")

Then run it and look in the debugger, not the browser output. You will see it reads much better and should be able to save it no problem from there.

Great! I never knew the solution was just that simple.
