Scraper thinks filepath is a URL

Hey Martin,

When I enter a file path like this:

Code: Select all

C:/Users/user/Desktop/list.txt
Into the "Scraper followers of" field, SCM thinks it is a URL showing this error:

Code: Select all

404: Profile no longer exists: https://soundcloud.com/c:/users/user/desktop/list.txt
Is there something wrong with the way I specified the path? The file 100% exists.

Windows uses \ not /

so try

Code: Select all

C:\Users/user\Desktop\list.txt
But I thought the program would detect / or \ regardless. So if you are 100% sure the file works and \ doesn't work, let me know EXACTLY where you are entering this and I will test and see what I find


Regards,
Martin

Tried both ways, does not work.

I am entering the path here:

Tried the same path in my browser so it is 100% correct.

must be a bug in the program for that field. I'll test later and get you an update
