I want to download the epubs for a list of 38 books but there's no indices and row number has no relation to book downloaded.. please help

chaosAD commented 4 years ago

The indices are on the A column. The column is immediately to the left of the Book Title.

The book titles are on the A column for me (using this link): https://resource-cms.springernature.com/springer-cms/rest/v1/content/17858272/data/v4

indices

AntWarland commented 4 years ago

I've tried downloading the file again and that column is still not there....

chaosAD commented 4 years ago

You are right, the original Excel file do not have column with the indices I was referring to. Try this (I know it is crude):

python main.py -i 1

Then wait till it finishes. Go to the ./download sub-folder and open table_v4.xlsx file.

Okay, they're in that one! Thanks :)

To avoid confusion, I have amended the script to refer to the real Excel index instead of the newly injected index (red). This is fixed in PR #74.

So now, the first book, which is Fundamental of Power Electronics is on index 2 instead of 0. To download only that book

python main.py -i 2
