Datacol supports following starting URLs list generation formulas:
- Increment: {1,1000}. Example is provided below. E.g. for the following formula:
http://url.com/page?id={1,5}
Starting URLs list will be generated as follows:
http://url.com/page?id=1
http://url.com/page?id=2
http://url.com/page?id=3
http://url.com/page?id=4
http://url.com/page?id=5
- Interval based increment: {1,1000,30}. If you want to generate numbers differed by certain number (interval) from each other, you should use interavl based increment. E.g. for the following formula:
http://url.com/page?id={1,200,30}
Starting URLs list will be generated as follows:
http://url.com/page?id=1
http://url.com/page?id=31
http://url.com/page?id=61
http://url.com/page?id=91
http://url.com/page?id=121
http://url.com/page?id=151
http://url.com/page?id=181
As you may have guessed, third parameter is the interval.
Formulas may be combined. E.g. for the following formula:
http://url.com/page?id={1,5}{1,100,30}
Starting URLs list will be generated as follows:
http://url.com/page?id=11
http://url.com/page?id=131
http://url.com/page?id=161
http://url.com/page?id=191
http://url.com/page?id=21
http://url.com/page?id=231
http://url.com/page?id=261
http://url.com/page?id=291
http://url.com/page?id=31
http://url.com/page?id=331
http://url.com/page?id=361
http://url.com/page?id=391
http://url.com/page?id=41
http://url.com/page?id=431
http://url.com/page?id=461
http://url.com/page?id=491
http://url.com/page?id=51
http://url.com/page?id=531
http://url.com/page?id=561
http://url.com/page?id=591
The basic idea is that in the first instance Datacol generates all variations determined with the first formula, and than for eah generated variation Datacol generates all variations determined with the second formula etc.
Note: if you set large number of formulas (particularly for combining), generation process can take quite a lot of time.
Generation results can be checked with Test button.
