Scrapebox Filtering Issue

Hi guys,

I feel like a complete noob asking this but here goes:

I have list of targets I want to filter using the 'Remove URLs not containing entries from' option in Scrapebox. The file I want to use as a filter has a bunch of URL paths in it (not full URLs), for example /path/profile/account.php. However, when I choose the option and select the file it doesn't remove any URLs from the list.

Now, you'd think this means all of the URLs contain strings from the filter but by looking through the list I can see that lots of them don't. Why aren't they removed?

Thanks in advance.

It should work fine, but it would have to be exact matches, if 1 character, period, slash etc.. is off its not going to get removed.

If you want to post up a few urls and the exact strings that are not working with those urls, then I can give you more accurate info.

Ah, so I guess I had misunderstood how this option works. I hoped it would keep all the urls that have even partial match with the entries from the 'filter' list. Makes more sense now.

If you want to keep those urls, then just choose remove urls not containing entries from and select your file.

When I say exact match, I mean it will work on partial match so if you have

car/page.htm

in your file

and a url with

http://www.doman.com/page/car/page.htm

it will still match.
