Thanks nuc63 that worked great.

Thanks Kevin, I'll try that. I'd much rather pull directly from ebay, but like I said, I didn't build this page, so I'm not sure of the full URL or how he's pulling the info. If you have any ideas on that, I'd appreciate it. Richard

I'm trying to build a bot that will go through a list of url's like this one, http://thickhost.com/test/completed/?q=Canon+Powershot&cat=31388&pages=10 and scrape the "Total Number of Items", the "Total Sales" and the "Sales Percentage". I didn't make the page. Its just a plain table, no ID's or anything to focus on. I can scrape, but I'm getting all the text. All I want is to set table cell, #row, col 3, "Total number of items", col 4, Total Sales, col 5 Sales Percentage. But I want the numbers... I'm just not sure how to pull just those 3 numbers from the page. Thanks,

Thanks VaultBoss Richard

How do I strip out the Time? The actual date format that I pull is "1/20/2013 7:34:00 AM" How can I delete, remove, etc. the Time, so all I have left is "1/20/2013" Richard

If I have the following two columns in a table, is there a way to find the number of days? Column 1 | Column 2 | Days 12/9/2012 6:56 1/20/2013 1:47 11/7/2012 11:06 1/19/2013 22:381/8/2013 1:21 1/20/2013 1:30 I need to be able to do some computing on the actual number of days. Thanks, Richard

Sorry I didn't type it out right, the condition is compared to $nothing Richard

I'm trying to do a "IF" statement to check and see if a table cell is empty. I'm currently using "Comparison", "Table Cell" "=" "$nothing" However it still runs through the "Then" even if the table cell has something in it. So what is the right or best way to check if a table cell is empty, if so, then do something. Richard

Cool, thanks very much.

If I have a list that can be from 1 to 1000 rows long, what is the best way to get the first and last items in that list? So they list may have 768 items, and I only want the first row and the last row. Thanks, Richard

Sorry, found the answer by searching. Thanks.

I'm scraping two numbers from a website, putting each number into a table using "set table cell". The third cell I want to be the percentage, so cell 2/cell 1. When I try doing divide "table cell 2" / "table cell 1" I get "cannot divide two strings". So I took the two numbers and used "set" to make them variables. Then tried using "set table cell" doing divide "variable 2" / "variable 1", yet I still get "cannot divide two strings". So then I tried using "Set" to create a third variable, with both the divide using table cell and divide using variables, and I still get "cannot divide two

When I start ubot, it tells me there is a new version available. 4.2.7 while I have 4.1.13. However when I click on install update, it goes to downloading the files, then everything just goes away and nothing happens. Is there another way to download the update?

I do have a sitemap page on each site. So I think I could hit that, scrape the url's then go down each post and look for content. However with 5K post or more, that would take quite awhile to go through.

Is there a way to take a list of URL's and scan each site for blank post, putting out a list of those sites/post that are blank? Some of these sites have 5K+ post.
