Question

What am I doing wrong? I don’t receive any error message but it doesn’t work properly –

the part of code:

    int n = Convert.ToInt32(args.Content);
    if (n >= 10000)
        n = (int) (n - (n * 0.85));
    return n.ToString();

works only when I comment the previous part of code:

    Match match = Regex.Match(args.Content, "ca.*?2013", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);  
    if (match.Success)
        args.Content = match.Groups[1].Value + "Aktl.";
    return args.Content;

Bellow is the full script:

using System;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
using VisualWebRipper.Internal.SimpleHtmlParser;
using VisualWebRipper;
public class Script
{
    //See help for a definition of WrContentTransformationArguments.
    public static string TransformContent(WrContentTransformationArguments args)
    {
        try
        {
            //Place your transformation code here.
            //This example just returns the input data

            Match match = Regex.Match(args.Content, "ca.*?2013", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);  
            if (match.Success)
                args.Content = match.Groups[1].Value + "Aktl.";
            return args.Content;
            int n = Convert.ToInt32(args.Content);
            if (n >= 10000)
                n = (int) (n - (n * 0.85));
            return n.ToString();
        }
        catch(Exception exp)
        {
            //Place error handling here
            args.WriteDebug("Custom script error: " + exp.Message);
            return "Custom script error";
        }
    }
}

I think you need:

        if (match.Success)
        {
            args.Content = match.Groups[1].Value + "Aktl.";
            return args.Content;
        }

In:

        if (match.Success)
            args.Content = match.Groups[1].Value + "Aktl.";
        return args.Content;

return statement is always executed and makes rest of the code unreachable. Conditional expression – if(...) – without brackets only includes next statement following the if check, that’s way return is always executed.
