The links on the website are very big. I use the regexp. /_groupid_ITEM/ to get to the link without having to type the whole link in the code (groupid_ITEM only appears in one link). And, in the link there are some items (countrycodes for example) that change with the settings of the website. When debugging the code, I did use the whole link, something like this: self.link(:url, 'http://veryverybiglink_nl_nl_website_groupid_ITEM.html') But this also didn't work... _groupid_ITEM will eventually change into a variable, but first it has to work at all :-) thanks for thinking along...
