well, I might work on this stuff once the manhattan project is done.

well you can do multiple threads now, using the thread command. everything you put inside a thread command will run in a separate thread. the only real problem is that the web browser takes up a lot resources, so having too many of them will bog your computer down, no matter how many threads you are doing. one thing I'm plannign for the future is to have ubot to socket interactions. it would be a little harder to work with, but it would be many times faster than the web browsers, and you could have 100 threads if you wanted. I have some more things to do before I can work on that though.

hey can you give me a specific url that demonstrates the issue?

yeah ubot isn't great with iframes right now. I'll try to take a look for the next update

I see what you're saying, you want to be able to get the command line arguments from inside ubot. there's not really anyway to do that directly, unfortunately. one idea might be to make the start up script into something that loads the other script the way you'd like. of course, then you'd have another tab floating without any use when you're not running auto. another possibility would be to have something like a configuration file where they could define which way they want it. you could ready the configuration file from ubot. neither solution is ideal. I think the configuration file is pret

I'm not really sure what you mean here

There's no need to be rude about it. the people you're takling to here are some of the most helpful members of our forum, and if you want help in the future, its a good idea to treat them with respect. Try putting the url in this format: http://username:password@url.com. since you have another @ in the username, try encoding it in urlencoding. so it should look like http://user%40email%2Ecom:password@spinblitz.com/_members/

This is a good point. I think I'll change this in the next version

there are two ways - one is to make sure you loop the correct number of times. if that is indeterminable, then the answer is to use a while loop, which will loop for as long as a certain condition is met. it sounds like a while loop is what you need to use here.

the behavior you're describing is the way that ubot is supposed to work.run sub will go to a sub, and then the script will resume the commands after the run sub command.

your description of what is happening is a little unclear, but what I notice in this script is that you run the sub from inside the same sub. this creates something called a recursion, and is generally something to be avoided. while I don't fully understand the problem, I think you'll be able to fix it if you restructure your code in a way that avoids these recursions.

just as an interesting side note- I was unaware of this limitation until you pointed it out.

interesting, on mine it works the way I described. what version of ie do you have installed? ok yeah I got it to error by adding another if. the error that it gives me is basically windows saying that you have too many things inside of other things. that's the bad news. the good news is that there's never really a reason to stack things that deep. if typing out the word isn't working on your end, then you can still solve this problem simply by not having the ifs inside of each other. they will work the same way if you just have one after another.

yeah lilly's looking into that max thing. so I couldn't reproduce the error, but I do want to point out a few things about the script you sent me. first, there is no real reason to put each successive if inside the previous if's else. putting them simply one after another will have exactly the same effect, because each one will only trigger if the evaluate command ends up being true. second, there's really no need for all the ifs. when you have a drop down box, simply typing the name will make it select the correct item. give it a try manually. click on the drop down box and type in the

can you upload an example of this so I can test for myself?

oh damn! I meant to put "preliminary manhattan project implementations". I guess the cat's out of the bag now!

attached is an example that shows the equivalent of the code you mentioned. read file example.ubot

hi kurt the settings menu is a script specific feature. this means that it only appears when you have the appropriate script open. keep in mind that the ui updates once per second, so after the script loads, it can take up to a second for the menu to load.

I've actually tried messing with the user agent before, with little success. Keep in mind that the UBot browser is just an instance of internet explorer, which means that doing this kind of stuff actually means hacking internet explorer. In a lot of cases I've had success getting at IE's innards, but this was not one of those cases. I'll take another look at it though, and see if there is anything else I can do with it.

the problem here is that you're treating a csv as a list. when you load a list into a file like this, it separates the items according to line, which means that the first list item will be: http://www.google.com/,username,password and the second list item will be: http://www.yahoo.com/,domineeringmecc,GRUYGMPQNS the items, the way you define them, are the entire line, when what you really want is just the part before the first comma. the solution is to understand that csvs aren't really lists. we recently added the table feature into ubot, which lets you deal with csvs by letting you s

what kind of error does it throw?

hi harivney! It's great to have you on the forum. Let me address your questions: 1. I might have to respectfully disagree with your observation, and add that UBot has only existed for about 8 months. Considering the time we've been here, I think we've created quite a name for ourselves. 2. Keep in mind that UBot controls a web browser, so scraping every page will take a little time, but what you're describing is actually pretty simple to do.

We're happy to help, but we need more information. I'm showing $total table rows as functioning properly over here. can you upload a script that demonstrates the error? Kenny - the thread you linked to was answered. We couldn't duplicate the error and we were waiting for more information. We can look into that problem too, but we need more information to duplicate the problem so that we can fix it.

yeah there should be a tutorial for it within a day or two. I created the table system so that it would be easier to deal with csv files and more complex data. they're kind of like 2 dimensional lists. the tutorial will explain in detail how to use them.

can you send me a working url with a test username and password in private, so I can look into this?
