Parsing single response as multiple answers
Closed
It seems like the parser is treating multiple paragraphs in a single answer as multiple responses and returns them as separate answers. Check out this review: https://www.g2.com/products/canvas-solutions-gocanvas/reviews/gocanvas-review-4146604 The first two paragraphs of the first question are treated as separate answers.
Also it would be good to return the answers with the question they were responding to, otherwise a single column of the export has different responses to different reviews.

I agree with ^ it creates many columns if there are answers with many paragraphs and requires merging cellls post scraping which is manual work.

I think the reason why cat is seperating like that because there are some questions there are required and some that are not. It is not always consistent. See attachment.
Hi Guys! thanks for reaching me. Good catch. From the endpoint where it come from, the reviews does not includes Question and Title. The answers is come from 1 field string includes "\n" (new line). I though it is separated by "\n" for each answer, for most case it did. But I guess I was wrong. I am still looking into this, sorry for the inconvenience.

Thank you for the enhancements! I think once review title is added and answers are not seperated because of paragraphs....this scraper will be perfect!
