I'm trying to remove duplicate urls from a list, but I'm not following at all. Can this be clarified for us idiots?

What version of MS office are you using?

Thanks for the site.

Come on, I'm sure you know how clients are. This client is old and stuck in her ways getting her to change what she uses to write with is going to be next to impossible.

Yes, but unfortunately it will lose formatting like bold, underline, and italics.

Nope. No dice! Stupid Word will not save in regular html format. Keeps saving as some special html word file.

I have tried saving the word doc as html page, but that doesn't work either as ubot can't read the word html files.

No need to be sorry. I'm not ungrateful. I guess I'm just really surprised that ubot being an automation software can't read something as common ad an MS Word doc. It kind of seems absurd.

Ubot is not SEO software, it is automation software, so I can't think of a reason why you MUST use html to post content. There has to be a way to get this to work.

That's not possible. This bot is for a client who writes the articles in MS word. The bot is supposed to post the article to her blog, then get the url and post a link to her facebook, twitter, linked in, etc. There is no way I can tell the client (who is pretty computer illiterate) that she has to add html tags to the article.

SO I have searched the forums, but can't find anything on this topic. I am trying to copy and paste from MS word into a UI block text field, and keep the formatting (ie paragraph breaks, bold, underline and italics) of the text in MS Word. Is there any way of doing this? So far I have been completely unsuccessful with either pasting into the ui or the readfile command. This is driving me crazy.

Just used it to make my ui. I made some modifications simply because I prefer a workflow where I generate all the ui codes and then work on the html. I added a button to clear fields because I didn't like needing to highlight the text in the field in order to replace it. I also added a button to "add to list", "show list", "clear list", and "save list to file" That way I can generate code and add it to a list, then generate the next code and add it to a list. Then when I'm all finished I just save the list and then work on my html. Thanks again for creating this awesome tool! UI-H

This is awesome! Thanks. I was looking for a tutorial on how to input the ui commands into the html panel, and this basically answers my questions.

Is this possible? Mods, can you please delete this topic?

Yes. I got the posting part working. Ubot still does not work with signup. I can give you the bot I have if you like, but you will have to overhaul it to meet your needs as all the variables are coming from spreadsheets downloaded from our system.

AH ty!

What is != ?

Ah Ha! I figured it out if($comparison(#proxyuser, ">", $nothing) AND $comparison(#proxypass, ">", $nothing)) { then { set(#privateproxies, $true, "Global") } }

Awesome! Didn't know about using AND Can you tell me why this won't work? if($comparison(#proxyuser, "=", $true) AND $comparison(#proxypass, "=", $true)) { then { set(#privateproxies, $true, "Global") } } #proxyuser = private proxy username field #proxypass = private proxy password field #privateproxies = private proxy checkbox I'm trying to make it so that if they fill in the username and password fields for private proxies that it automatically checks the private proxy checkbox.

So I am making a bot with the abilities to use private proxies. In my UI I have a checkbox to proxies and a checkbox for private proxies, a ui text block to enter the proxies, and username and password ui text boxes. I have already set vaiables for all of the UI fields. What I want to do next is to create an if then command that if the Proxy checkbox is checked the bot checks to see if the proxies have been entered in the proxy text block, if not then it pops an alert and stops the bot. How do I make the if then command: If proxy checkbox is checked, then check proxy ip box has proxie

Is it possible to create a bot to scrape an entire website? Example: I have a client, we just created a new website for them, I want to scrape their old site to get all the page urls so that I can set up 301 redirects for the old pages. So that any previous link building efforts aren't lost. It would also be good to grab the title tags and description tags for those pages as well. Is this possible? Has anyone built a bot like this before? Thoughts?

Nevermind, I finally figured out what I was doing wrong. I feel so stupid!

Does that look like this? add list to list($list from file("C:\\Documents and Settings\\Josh McCann\\Desktop\\gardner-pages.txt"), %pages, "Delete", "Global") Sorry to be so stupid, but with the command the way I have it, it's not adding the list to the list I specify it is adding the list to a blank list. See screenshot of debugger. What am I doing wrong?

Shit didnt even notice that. Thanks!

Can anyone tell me why my list in a text file is not being treated as a list in ubot? Basically I have 2 commands right now. add item to list(%pages, $list from file("{$special folder("Desktop")}\\gardner-pages.txt"), "Delete", "Global") navigate($list item(%pages, 0), "Wait") When I try to navigate to the first url in the list ubot actually adds all urls into the address bar. When I check the debugger ubot tells me I have one list item. What am I doing wrong here? I have attached the txt file I am trying to create the list from.gardner-pages.txt
