WebSundew v3.00 crash

Hello Administrator,
We downloaded the trial version from ( http://www.websundew.com/downloads/webs ... .0_597.exe . We are testing the software for scraping data from various job sites for eg., careerbuilder.com, hotjobs.yahoo.com and other. Though it is very user friendly and GUI but we are facing a lot of problem such that it closes while we are in process of making the project. Though the point when it closes is not definite and we are able to reach the output file only 3 out of 10 times and rest it is closed before reaching the extraction run. Kindly suggest why is it happening with our latest version(v3.0.0) though it works very fine with WebSundew v2.0 at sundewsoft.com. My another question is that in this software can we extract sub-string data from a field eg., for a field 'Location' of a Job(as in case of hotjobs.yahoo.com) it extracts 'New York, USA' or 'Paris, France'. Is it possible to extract the above in two fields separately under City/State: 'New York' and Country: USA? Otherwise is there any way to pick them up under one field and then separate them under City and Country within software under two fields. If yes, kindly help with the procedure.
We appreciate your efforts towards the creation of a helpful GUI friendly utility. Looking forward to your reply.
Regards,
Manager, SWT. -

Dear Sir or Madam,
thank you for your interest to WebSundew, the problems you have described happen because of the incorrect work of the web pages display component. During data extracting this component is not used, that is why instable work occurs only during extraction configuring. Now we are working on a new browser component.We are planning its release on the end of April.
As to your question about the data separation, the easiest way to do it is to use regular expressions, which are available in the corresponding field type dataview. For example, in your case to divide the lines you need to set up:
-City Field
Expression: [^,]+
Index: 0
-Country Field
Expression: [^,]+
Index: 1
Should you have any other questions we will be glad to answer them.
