yes yes, but if someone knows of a good one to automate and cared to shared I wouldn't need to test them all out. I am lazy, hence why I want to automate everything

Thanks will give it a try.

that looks like it, but I thought it was bigger with more discussion. Maybe I am confusing it with something else, many thanks.

I need an email sign up bot. I have a gmail one I have downloaded, but when looking into it, gmail wanted an sms verification, so have put them to one side and intend to go with another company. Was looking into gmx, who had a simple form but the password is a complicated js thing. Are there any others you guys would recommend? I would like 1) simple sign up form, not too many form elements 2) no stupid js widgets to trip me up 3) easy to log in and find mails to open and click sign up links (uses simple html, or if not, has a nice easy link to click to get it into html mode) 4) no capt

Trying to sign up gmx email accounts as (I thought) the form seems quick and simple lol Anyway, all is fine apart from the password. It is some kind of strange javascript, yet whatever I input it always returns, password not secure enough / passwords do not match. Have tried using send keys to chosen to simulate keystrokes, but although the javascript seems to think I am typing and shows the suggested password strength, it still isn't meeting some criteria needed to the pass the password check.

No, I have requested this as would be really cool (like this guy )

if you want to use the username, rather than skipping to the next one, set up a loop using an incremented number on the end of the username e.g. #i =0 while(#fail =1) #fail = 0 #usernameToSet = {1}{2} {1}#username {2}#i if(scrape (username taken) then #fail =1 set #1 inc assumed you have #username from file set an increment value #i to 0 try and set #username0 if fails, incr #i and try again, so #username1 etc, keep doing this until succeed. the while loop starts by assuming you will pass (sets #fail to 0), then when you fail (the scrape of the fail text =s true, then we

There was a thread on the old forum, something along the lines of "what do with ubot". When I first got uBot I found it interesting and it helped me with new ideas, avenues I hadn't thought of. Is the thread still around? Got a few bot ideas floating around in my head, always good to add a few more

1) Actually no need for JS. Set your variable v1 Set your variable v2 Set v3 > TEXT REPLACE > replace v2 with $nothing 2) As said above can build a list from text. 3) One of the tutorials goes into JS popup clicking, I think it is one of the last ones "other features". Not sure as I never really went through them in detail (still on my list of things to do) Can you post the URL which causes this JS (if that is ok with you) then can have a play around with it.

I think the best way (from our point of view) would be to let us hide the ubot window so it can run in the background. That way we build our own applications to handle the UI, then if we could pass in args to the ubot program which would use them as parameters or could just write to a known file location, which the ubot.exe could read from when it is called as a process. I can understand from your point of view, ubot gets more exposure by having your name on the compiled bots.

Have you looked at the stick [library] string at the top of the scripting board? I posted up something, screen shots, maybe a .ubot file with an example of how to use. If you're still stuck tomorrow let me know and I will try and put a quick bot together to do what you asking. Am about to go watch latest episode of lost so can't do it now. Actually cannot do it tomorrow as got a 5 hour drive to parents house. Over the weekend will do if you still need it then.

Just build a bot, you'll be infuriated at times, but once it is done you'll know the score. Tutorials don't work for me, because I don't concentrate, zone out, have to decide what I want, something that will keep me coming back until it is nailed. I guess I am a stubborn bastard in that respect

I have fixed an issue where it would crash if your search term didn't return more than one page of results. As you say it happens for everyterm you try, I would have thought some terms were returning more than a pages worth. I am in the UK, not sure if the Google lays out it's source code differnet so the scrape isn't working. Do you mind giving me a search term that definately doesn't work for you so I can test it here. Have just finished making some modifications. It now reads from a UI file selector, a file that lists your search terms and another UI file selector where to save t

Doh, of course !!! Thanks for reply

I have a for loop that loops 999 times as I need to amend the list that is being looped within the for. The listtotal parameter appears to be set at the beginning of the loop and isn't dynamically checked each loop (from my test) hence why I need to set a large loop to assure the loop loops enough terms, however, this method requires the ability to manually break the loop. I am sure I was able to break out a for by using if (a= then return value where value was just a nominal string. Now this isn't working, the return is definitely hit as have added a javascript alert() to the then

Sounds like it isn't scraping the Google pages links correctly, so when tries to load Page 2 it is wrong. Unforunatley, no idea why this is. Does this happen for any search term? Or just a specific one?

I know that one, all too well...

Thanks for this, next on my list of things todo was keyword research bots, although this may mean I never get round to doing Seth's tutorial

Just reuploaded bot (see edit3 in original post). no need for googlepages.txt. should do 1000 urls without requiring a double run. want to get it scraping search terms from a text file. 100,000 urls in a single run here we come Wife is kicking off that it is friday night so, this will have to wait. Next bot, WP Commenter

You can use $replace on a variable, might be something you could work into this. Set variable #varname TEXT CONSTANT $replace

just another note, when doing a fresh scrape, probably want to delete contents of googlepages.txt. Beginning to think posted the bot a bit early, as in the light of a new morning, realising lots of things could be better, but didn't want to end up constantly working on it and would post up as is and get any input advice etc.

Have discovered an issue using javascript in an eval function. I was having an issue passing in a string that contained " and '. Found out I have to escape these manually using the Text Constant > $replace feature (i.e. replace " with \") However, I found out after much swearing and infuration, that if you pass this escaped string into a sub in the string lib that returned a string, then the returned string lost it's encoding. So I had to re-escape it all.

Finally got there with first bot. Works pretty well, might crash out now and again but so be it. Could do with a tidy up and better use of scripts / subs, but it works and am sick of it now . Learnt alot, overcome some bitch issues so all good. NOTES 1)Make sure you set your search results to 100 before firing the bot, as it won't check pages 10+, so to get a thousand you need 100 results per the 10 pages -to change this setting goto Google.com> click Search Settings> change drop down box to 100, click Save settings. Future work is to have the bot work with showing only 10 results,

yup, that worked, also super thanks for going to the trouble of making an example. $replace, haven't seen that before

Thanks, will try that. Am going to get this beast tamed tonight if it kills me
