  1. Hi Everyone, I wanted to confirm the same issues with SQLite and NULL values and DOUBLE QUOTES in your literal strings. I wrestled with this for several hours till I had a breakthrough via trial&error and research on this forum and the web, so I wanted to make this post to save someone else a headache. PROBLEM #1: SQLite databases and NULL values (you can't do it) My Solution: In the Ubot code below, I had to do a $comparison when a variable contained nothing/NULL value, I chose to set the value to the string "None" in my case. if($comparison(#xProdViews,"= Equals",$nothing)) { the
  2. Hi Dan, Disregard, I replied too soon and made newbie mistake, I didn't realize I could override the "attribute to get" field and type in "content". Duh! Sorry for the bother... but thank you for more valuable training videos, I got even more nuggets of info and you've convinced me to purchase Cbrowser plugin. Thanks, -Rich
  3. Hi Dan, Thank you for the response and video links, I will watch those now. The issue for me may be with my HTTP Plugin, I don't have the option "content" under the "attribute to get" like in your screenshot, I only have available (Innerext,InnerHTML,OuterHTML,value,id,name,src,href,type,action,title). I'm currently running (Amen's) HTTP Post v2.5.1.0. I'll check with him and see if that's the most updated version. Thank, -Rich
  4. Hi Dan, Your previous suggestion is working great. The only major problem I'm have is that I have an Xpath expression that works perfectly in XBP, but it will NOT work in Ubot HTTP Plugin. Actually, anytime I try to extract data from //meta tags, XBP pulls the data but Ubot HTTP Plugin will not. I've tried everything I can think of and checked all over the web but to no avail. Here is what I have... XBP returns the same data for all three versions of these, but nothing in Ubot HTTP Plugin (I'm using InnerText setting and tried the others). I even tried to use "description" meta tag in expr
  5. Hi Dan, Thanks, yeah I guess pulling the data back and working with it via a List in Ubot is the easiest way to get a value. I was trying to do it on the fly with Xpath expression. I guess when I saw the XBP status bar easily reporting the number of elements for each expression it made me want to use Xpath to return a value in Ubot, but your suggestion works perfect. Thanks, -Rich
  6. Hi Dan, I've been out of the Ubot loop for the last 8 months due to accident injury, but I just purchased your Xpath Builder Pro and I wanted to say what an incredible job you did with the Xpath Builder videos! I also have your HTTP Plugin videos which were/are great, but you really did an excellent job of explaining the nuances between the different Ubot plugins (BigTable, Cbrowser, HTTP Post plug-ins) when using Xpath expressions and just using Xpath expressions in general (i.e. /text() versus InnerText, etc.) You've done a fantastic job of organizing your knowledge and the information whe
  7. UPDATE: So far I've been using Proxy-N-vpn service for a couple weeks I have their PP-5 (private proxies service) and it's been working flawlessly!! I'm going to be upgrading to more of their private proxies, will probably jump on their Black Friday Sale!! Other feedback: Proxy-N-vpn is much better than the 100 shared proxies service I've purchase from proxybonanza (though PNV proxies are private), A lot of the proxybonanza shared proxies are not valid on their shared plan. I've also tried out HideMyAss (HMA) shared and private proxies for a year and I wasn't impressed (I heard they improved
  8. Ok, I got my proxies activated pretty quickly by Proxy-N-vpn now, that's a good sign! Going to test them out this week against Google's newest algo changes that crippled some of my scraping scripts this month due to big G's newest IP detection/timing/banning schema, will let everyone know my results. -Rich
  9. Hi Guys, I thought I would give a bit of an update since I haven't commented lately on this post. I had purchased v5 a while back but immediately switched to v4 because everything and everyone was using v4 and v4 plugins plus all the trainings were using v4 (thanks Ubot Buddy). I learned Ubot Studio with v4 installed and Buddy's training, then I had a Microsoft Win Update that killed my Win7 OS (reboot loop issue), so I was forced to reinstall OS and everything else but this time I reinstalled Ubot v5.5.1 based on Dan's recent input and watching his training on Aymen's HTTP POST Plugin. So,
  10. I'm going to try out this proxy service... I just purchased the PP-5 (private proxies service), still waiting for the service to go live, it says "pending" in my account when I login to their service to get my proxies setup. I'll let all forum members know how this service rates. Btw, I've been using various other vendors for proxy and VPN services for the last 7 years and there have been some good services and some really bad ones too (ones bordered on shady biz practices with my credit card). So, I'll give my feedback for Proxy-N-VPN soon. -Rich
  11. Hey The Fixer, I believe most Ubotters run SQLite to write to the local disk on their PC and maybe on a hosted VPS or dedicated server. Shared web hosted accounts (usually Linux or Windows based) will most certainly not allow you to run SQLite directly on the server. Here is some SQLite info that may answer your question better, since I'm not sure what your end goal is with SQLite and your data. You may just be looking for a traditional RDBMS like MySQL to store and manipulate your data. About SQLite http://www.sqlite.org/about.html Appropriate Uses For SQLite http://www.sqlite.org/whento
  12. Hey Aymen, This looks like a really nice plugin! I just ordered. Thanks, Rich
  13. Hey Buddy, Glad to hear back from you, sorry you are having ear infection troubles, I wish you a speedy recovery. We were a bit worried for your welfare, you are an asset here in the Ubot community. We look forward to your other works and website whenever you get it going. Thanks for all your hard work with the training videos, they really help and are a great reference when coding Ubot scripts. -Rich
  14. ok, I figured it out, it was my programming, lol In the replace command, I needed to swap the variable in the Search Text field with the text to be replaced in the Original Text field, resulting in the code looking like this... which works perfectly: set(#itemTransFullURLs, $replace(#TempURLs, "/transaction/", "https://www.domain.com/transaction/"), "Global") -Rich
  15. Hey Guys, I'm scratching my head here also. I'm running UbotStudio v5.5.1 and I can't rule out that a simple replace command is not working due to a bug in the UbotStudio or my programming. I have two variables, one (#TempURLs) with a block of text relative URLs and a second variable (#itemTransFullURLs) with a replace command to replace a portion of text (/transaction/) in the relative URLs with text of full path (absolute) URLs (https://www.domain.com/transaction/). The replace command will not do the replace. I've tried quotes, escaping the characters, etc. but it won't perform the replac
  16. I love and use windows automation scripts everyday that I developed with Macro Scheduler Pro scripting software. Frank here on the forum had posted a video about it a while back and I've been hooked on it ever since. I actually even use both UbotStudio and MacroScheduler to prompt each other for various tasks. Ubot rules in the browser world and I personally feel MS rules in Windows automation so they work hand in hand perfectly for me.

  17. I sent Buddy an email just now to check on him to see if he was doing okay and check with him and see if he may have missed his domain renewal. I know it happens to me sometimes, I manage over 400 domains across a ton of registrars for my company and some times an obscure registrar's renewal email slips through the cracks. I hope that's the case because I love Buddy's videos and reference them all the time when I forget how to do something in Ubot Studio. -Rich
  18. @sktan7, I'm running Ubot Studio v4.2.20 and it has database support. -Rich https://www.dropbox.com/s/rwpkbqt5hxxkxoj/Database-Support-Version4.jpg
  19. Well, currently you have to run Ubot Studio v4.xxx to be able to take advantage of Aymen's HTTP POST plugin and several other things related to HTTP POST/Sockets. Also, when you purchase Ubot master Dan's HTTP POST tutorials he state's that you currently cannot do the things he is teaching in his videos with Ubot Studio v5 that you must be using Ubot v4. So, until Ubot Studio v5 becomes more stable and these awesome advanced plugin features get ported and tested for use with v5 by the plugin developers, my v5 will sit and collect dust. I know it is unfortunate to say this, but I bought Ubot
  20. Hey entroqy, You are welcome. Btw, Dan has shown in his bonus training video how to use cURL to do HTTP POST along with Ubot Studio Advanced Shell Plugin to accomplish the same thing Aymen's HTTP POST Plugin does plus he mentions that you can leverage more HTTP commands with cURL than the HTTP plugin. But, Aymen has made the HTTP Plugin easy to use with simple dropdown selections where with cURL you need to know what you are doing with the cURL commands and paramenters that you input into the Ubot Studio "shell batch hidden" node. Here is info on cURL: http://curl.haxx.se/ cURL is a comm
  21. Hey entroqy, I'm not Dan, but I'm just learning to use Aymen's HTTP POST Plugin by watching Dan's HTTP Plugin training videos and how he recommends to use it. The short version... the HTTP POST Plugin by Aymen allows you to add the plugin to your Ubot Studio v4 Pro/Dev and it allows you to directly access web servers and the web page data without having to display in the Ubot browser. You can do a direct HTTP request for a specific web page and your script gets all the html data stream directly and your script then can grab whatever you are scraping, but nothing is shown on your screen (no b
  22. Hey Dan, I was holding out for the multithreading video and solution, just purchased now, looks good so far! Your checkout and delivery system worked flawlessly. Will give training feedback later after I review the videos. Thanks, -Rich
  23. I wanted to give a bit of a testimonial on UbotBuddy training. But first a quick background on me... for several years I was a corporate trainer teaching CompTIA certification preparatory classes (i.e. A+, Network+, Project+, etc). I had to teach hardware, software, networks, security technologies and project management plus sales presentation skills to different types of personalities at a large corporations. Imagine having a class of salespeople mixed with mid-level managers, IT guys and C-level corporate guys all in the same class room trying to teach them binary math, calculate computer op
  24. Hey Buddy, I love the training you put together, I left a psuedo-testimonial in the post above. Btw, could you do some training on things like APIs (like LinkedIn API), Sockets, HTTP POST, Hidden browser scraping, browser.exe crash closing, restart Ubot commands/plugins, etc? That would be great in advanced training areas. Thanks, -Rich
  25. Hey BotGuru, Do you have any training vids showing this in use or how to use it efficiently? I noticed you had some good YT vids on your other scripts. I'm new at scraping emails from LinkedIn and messaging members. Let me know. Thanks, Rich
