Import URLS (identify platform and sort in) Not working?

Hey guys,

I've generated a list of urls using SB and now I want to import them into SER. when I select the file and hit OK, SER seems to scan the entire file (24K lines) in a second or so, and reports "Added 0/0 URLs to site list.".

Am I missing something here? is there some option somewhere I need to use to make SER actually check the urls?

Thanks

    Hmm maybe its encoding

    s4nt0s Can you please explain what you mean by Encoding problem? My file is already saved as Text file.

    When you choose to save a file in Scrapebox, you have to change the encoding from UTF-8 or whatever it is set to by default to ANSI. 

    In the options there's a way to set the default encoding. I can't remember the exact option but its one of the options at the top toolbar.

    I've been having the same problem. I've harvested several lists via SB but can not import/identify with GSA SER. Sometimes I can, sometimes I can not. I've tried both, copy to clipboard and also import as file options.

    Any other suggestions?


    ... nevermind, tried saving as ANSI like s4nt0s suggested and now it's importing. I guess when you export in SB it won't save ANSI by default.

    @sabina24 - Did you try changing the encoding from utf-8 to ANSI when saving the scrapebox file like I mentioned above?

    @s4nt0s I tried the encoding. I get it to start the import but nothing goes into the identified, even though Im scraping with GSA Footprints. Not sure whats going on with it. Still can't get a list to identify and sort in.

    @langdont - Is the project set to "process files" or is it monitoring a folder? I need more details of how you have it configured. Can you send me the file you're importing or a sample of it so I can test on my end?
