  1. I haven't used Ubot for ages, so I'm a bit rusty, but this problem seems odd to me.

    I've scraped data from multiple pages, adding to two lists. One is a product title, the other a description, an example page is here: http://cateringequipment-uk.co.uk/proddetail.asp?prod=Lincat-OG7502-Atmospheric-Steamer&cat=242

     

    I then add lists as a column to a table, column one and two. The debugger looks fine:

    So then I save to file:

     

    save to file("C:\\data\\customersData\\catering equipment\\prods\\table.csv",&allscraped)

     

    And all I get is this:

    Only the first line of the description is being saved in the cell.

     

    Am I doing something silly here?

     

     

     

  2. Hiya y'all,

     

    I'm after two bots, one to scrape UK Yell and another to scrape US Yell.

     

    Needs to ask for a business type and a location then it goes and scrapes the company data, web URL, phone, address etc into a CSV.

     

    I know it's probably easy, but I'm up to my neck in work!

  3. I did that as one of my first projects, a year ago, and it was quite easy ^^ Then I realized that all my most successful competitors had a backlink structure that looked like this:

    Been link spamming ever since :)

     

    I have just spat my dinner out laughing at this!!!!

     

    Every now and then I have to speak to a competitor in the SEO business and they give me some drivel about LSI, Referential Integrity and all that crap. Check their own site and it's an absolute shitstorm of spam blogs and directory submissions.

  4. Well... Frankly speaking I am not able to choose this button properly... If the page is loaded fresh, The button can not be chosen unless we manually click on the button. I am not sure how you said in your first post that you are able to click on it... I am not even able to choose it on a freshly loaded page... Forget about clicking or changing file filed chosen... :(

     

    I just noticed that when you click the button on a fresh load of the page, it's asking for the 'category' field to be filled out before it'll allow you to upload an image. Maybe that's your problem?

  5. Thanks for that. I looked through the CSV file tutorial, all fine, my one sticking point is the 'adjacent' bit of the formula. I can see how to grab the images (wildcards, wondered what those were for!) but getting the description next to it looks a little tricker.

     

    Any ideas?

  6. Is it possible to scrape two bits of adjacent data from a line on a page and pop them into a CSV file?

     

    For example, I'm trying to get all the image URLs and the product descriptions from this page : http://www.pinchinpipesandfittings.co.uk/ABS_Pipe_Fittings.html into a CSV list so I can match them up in a database.

     

    Possible? If so, can anyone point me to a tutorial, or i'll even bung someone a few quid if they can knock out a script.

  7. Anyone got any pointers on how to structure this...

     

    Doing a bot to add a post to Blogger. On the 'name your blog' page it asks for all the details and it all goes fine, unless the user gets the captcha wrong.

     

    How do you manage this? I'm looking at the 'If...Then' statement as the answer, but I'm just staring at it at the moment looking for inspiration!
