I'm trying to extract a download-URL within a href. I have tried using the HTMLExtractor, ListExploder and XMLYQueryExtractor to isolate the specific URL to an attribute but with no luck.

I need too isolate the URL with the .zip (http://gpt.vic-metria.nu/data/land/NM.zip) from this http://mdp01.vic-metria.nu/geonetwork/srv/en/csw?request=GetRecordById!!!service=CSW!!!version=2.0.2!!!elementSetName=full!!!id=c6b02e88-8084-4b3f-8a7d-33e5d45349c4!!!outputSchema=csw:IsoRecord" target="_blank">webpage . Is it possible and how?

Hi @john_eskilstuna, I think the HTMLExtractor works effectively here.

Why not inspect features with Visual/Data Preview and Feature/Record Information before writing them into a destination dataset?

My translation fails due to "Invalid xquery". What could be the problem?

Your CSS Selector could be wrong (closing double quotation is missing). Modify the selector, then see if the _url{} list contains expected elements with the Logger.
