It looks like you're missing the entire concept of how Extreme Picture Finder works. The main point of it - it can find all the necessary links automatically, without the need for user to specify a Regular Expression for every URL he needs. It can crawl the website or a directory in a website parsing the HTML source code of the pages, looking for your [
Target Files ] downloading and saving them completely automatically. Please read this post where I explain the basics of Extreme Picture Finder exploration:
Limiting Extreme Picture Finder exploration.
Thus, you only need Regular Expressions in the [
Excluded URLs ] section to prevent Extreme Picture Finder from crawling certain URLs that are located within the main exploration area.
You only need Regular Expressions in the [
Included URLs ] section to make Extreme Picture Finder crawl additional URLs that are located outside the main exploration area (and for those that were excluded by the wider Reg Ex in the [
Excluded URLs ] section). For example, pages on external image hosting websites.
You need [
Excluded Page Parts ] to make Extreme Picture Finder ignore certain parts of the HTML source code of the pages.
You need [
Custom Parsers ] to generate addtional URLs that are not directly present in the HTML source code of the pages crawled by Extreme Picture Finder from certain parts of the HTML source code of those pages and for generating POST requests.
So, all 4 of the above are
advanced techniques that are not required for every project. Most projects can run on default settings and deliver the results.
Now, when already have a list of URLs that point directly to the files you want to download - this is the easiest case and you need absolutely no Regular Expressions or additional settings. Just create a project and set the [
Exploration type ] to [
Current page only ] and select appropriate [
Target Files ]. That's it! Here is the tutorial:
Download URL list
So, if your "download.php?id=XXX" URLs give you the actual content you want or have direct links to your [
Target Files ] - just follow the above tutorial.
If not - please give me more information and I'll try to explain further. It certainly does look like you're trying to overcomplicate the things with Extreme Picture Finder. This software is for users, not only for developers. Well, some parts of it, at least ;-)
