Bot-Factory 602 Posted April 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 FAQ:Q: What is Xpath?A: XPath, the XML Path Language, is a query language for selecting nodes from an XML document.Q: For what can I use Xpath?A: If we talk about Ubot Studio, you can use Xpath to select elements, to change elements and to scrape data. But it's not supported by Ubot Studio out of the box. So you need one of the plugins who use Xpath.Q: Is Xpath Builder Pro only for Ubot Studio?A: No, definitely not. It's a stand alone tool that creates Xpath Expressions very quickly. You can use them with Ubot Studio/Plugins or with any other tool or language that supports Xpath.Q: Is this a Ubot plugin?A: No, it's a stand alone software that is developed in .NetQ: On how many computers can I run it?A: On 1 ComputerQ: Can I move the license to another PC?A: After 30 days you can move a license to a new PC.Q: What if I reinstall my PC?A: As long as you don't change your hardware you're fine. But if you did, contact the helpdesk and we can help you. As long as you're not changing your hardware every week :-)Q: Will you update it frequently?A: Yes, as soon as someone finds a bug, we will fix that ASAP. But we don't expect a lot of issues to be honest.The tool doesn't work with a website or anything. So we don't have to adjust the tool because of external changes.Q: Do you explain how to use it?A: Yes, you will get access to our tutorials. And if something is not covered, we will add videos or do a webinar. But it's really simple to use the applicatio. So after you test it, you will master it in a couple of minutes.Q: Do you offer refunds?A: Yes, we have a 7 Day no Questions asked refund period.Q: Where do I get support?A: support@bot-factory.com Known Limitations:The application requires a minimum screen resolution of 1390x798 at the moment. If you have a smaller screen (notbook with 1366*768) the application will not fit into the screen completely.This is something we are currently investigating. TIPS:1. To copy the Xpath expression from the Xpath Expression window, you can use your computer copy&paste feature. Via STRG+C / STRG+P2. Currently there is no right click copy menu for that input field. But we will try to add that in an upcoming update.3. To see the HTML of a site, you first have to right click into the site in browser mode and select "View Source" Support Requests:Please send all support requests to support@bot-factory.com And allow at least 12 hours before we reply. The team is located in Germany (CEST), so we could be in bed when you send us a message :-)And it would be great if you would NOT send the same report via different communication channels (Skype, Forum Post, Forum PM, Private Email and Support Email). That will slowdown our response because we first have to synchronize everything. Thanks a lot for your understanding. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kumar 4 Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Dan, thanks for this great tool but I am little confused that how Xpath expression is different from regular expression (Regex)?? With your description, I think same job can be done by Regex so what is it's advantage over Regex? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kev123 132 Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Regex isn't really designed for html documents and its very easy for a complex page to cause issues. You will also find you will have to make more and more complex regex to achieve certain things. where as xpath is designed with html/xml in mind and makes things much easier. in proper programming languages you can also do much more complex stuff. for example in a c# project I use the "parent attributes" of a xpath node to determine if a link on a page is in comments on the page. thankskev123 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
diskwizz 24 Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Dan, thanks for this great tool but I am little confused that how Xpath expression is different from regular expression (Regex)?? With your description, I think same job can be done by Regex so what is it's advantage over Regex? Xpath is designed to parse xml/(x)html, it understands the structure. It is more forgiving then regex and much easier to master. Its actually frowned upon in the programming community to use regex for xml/(x)html. Look at the quotes below from other professional programmers. The last quote is defenitly a must read for every true geek! I think XPath is the primary option for traversing XML-like documents. With RegExp, it will be up to you to handle the different forms of writing a tag (with multiple spaces, double quotes, single quotes, no quotes, in one line, in multi-lines, with inner data, without inner data, etc). With XPath, this is all transparent to you, and it has many features (like accessing a node by index, selecting by attribute values, selecting simblings, and MANY others).If you are parsing XML you should use XPath as it was designed exactly for this purpose. XML / XHTML is not a regular language and cannot be parsed correctly by regular expressions. You may be able to write a regular expression which works some of the time but there will be special cases where it will fail.You can't parse [X]HTML with regex. Because HTML can't be parsed by regex. Regex is not a tool that can be used to correctly parse HTML. As I have answered in HTML-and-regex questions here so many times before, the use of regex will not allow you to consume HTML. Regular expressions are a tool that is insufficiently sophisticated to understand the constructs employed by HTML. HTML is not a regular language and hence cannot be parsed by regular expressions. Regex queries are not equipped to break down HTML into its meaningful parts. so many times but it is not getting to me. Even enhanced irregular regular expressions as used by Perl are not up to the task of parsing HTML. You will never make me crack. HTML is a language of sufficient complexity that it cannot be parsed by regular expressions. Even Jon Skeet cannot parse HTML using regular expressions. Every time you attempt to parse HTML with regular expressions, the unholy child weeps the blood of virgins, and Russian hackers pwn your webapp. Parsing HTML with regex summons tainted souls into the realm of the living. HTML and regex go together like love, marriage, and ritual infanticide. The <center> cannot hold it is too late. The force of regex and HTML together in the same conceptual space will destroy your mind like so much watery putty. If you parse HTML with regex you are giving in to Them and their blasphemous ways which doom us all to inhuman toil for the One whose Name cannot be expressed in the Basic Multilingual Plane, he comes. HTML-plus-regexp will liquify the nerves of the sentient whilst you observe, your psyche withering in the onslaught of horror. Rege̿̔̉x-based HTML parsers are the cancer that is killing StackOverflow it is too late it is too late we cannot be saved the trangession of a chi͡ld ensures regex will consume all living tissue (except for HTML which it cannot, as previously prophesied) dear lord help us how can anyone survive this scourge using regex to parse HTML has doomed humanity to an eternity of dread torture and security holes using regex as a tool to process HTML establishes a breach between this world and the dread realm of c͒ͪo͛ͫrrupt entities (like SGML entities, but more corrupt) a mere glimpse of the world of regex parsers for HTML will instantly transport a programmer's consciousness into a world of ceaseless screaming, he comes, the pestilent slithy regex-infection will devour your HTML parser, application and existence for all time like Visual Basic only worse he comes he comes do not fight he com̡e̶s, ̕h̵is un̨ho͞ly radiańcé destro҉ying all enli̍̈́̂̈́ghtenment, HTML tags lea͠ki̧n͘g fr̶ǫm ̡yo͟ur eye͢s̸ ̛l̕ik͏e liquid pain, the song of re̸gular expression parsing will extinguish the voices of mortal man from the sphere I can see it can you see ̲͚̖͔̙î̩́t̲͎̩̱͔́̋̀ it is beautiful the final snuffing of the lies of Man ALL IS LOŚ͖̩͇̗̪̏̈́T ALL IS LOST the pon̷y he comes he c̶̮omes he comes the ichor permeates all MY FACE MY FACE ᵒh god no NO NOO̼OO NΘ stop the an*̶͑̾̾̅ͫ͏̙̤g͇̫͛͆̾ͫ̑͆l͖͉̗̩̳̟̍ͫͥͨe̠̅s ͎a̧͈͖r̽̾̈́͒͑e not rè̑ͧ̌aͨl̘̝̙̃ͤ͂̾̆ ZA̡͊͠͝LGΌ ISͮ̂҉̯͈͕̹̘̱ TO͇̹̺ͅƝ̴ȳ̳ TH̘Ë͖́̉ ͠P̯͍̭O̚N̐Y̡ H̸̡̪̯ͨ͊̽̅̾̎Ȩ̬̩̾͛ͪ̈́̀́͘ ̶̧̨̱̹̭̯ͧ̾ͬC̷̙̲̝͖ͭ̏ͥͮ͟Oͮ͏̮̪̝͍M̲̖͊̒ͪͩͬ̚̚͜Ȇ̴̟̟͙̞ͩ͌͝S̨̥̫͎̭ͯ̿̔̀ͅ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LoWrIdErTJ - BotGuru 904 Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Having had a play with the software. Both in testing different sites, as well as a few software's i had to build in the past couple days I have to say this is a very nicely put together software. and Makes it very easy to build out what your needing and wanting to use for xpath results. A great and must have for your arsenal if you are wanting to use xpath, and or the http post plugin. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
