When web scraping, what CSS selector do I need to return the web address of a link only, rather than multiple columns?

How to?
#1

I'm using webscraper.io to scrape some data from individual pages.

I'd like the data preview to be formatted so that I can quickly copy and paste the output elsewhere.

However, when scraping links, it's returning multiple columns (see attached image below)

Multiple columns returned

What would be the correct selector to return the url only?

@jonbstrong Hi, If you are looking to return only the link reference you will have to use an 'Element attribute' selector.
