[Google Results Scraping Problem]

Hey guys,

 

I'm unable to scrape google results when I get a group of results together.

 

Here's an example:

http://content.screencast.com/users/riktubrs/folders/Jing/media/6af49237-40ed-415f-a204-bb4b5c8bc6a3/2012-10-29_1530.png

 

As you can see above, I am unable to scrape these 4 results.

 

Any ideas how to scrape them as well? If I get 14 results as 'Page 1' in google, it's fine.

 

Thanks

[Save Cookie For Future Use]

Hey guys,

 

I'm trying to have control over my cookies.

 

I want to be able to save a specific cookie in a folder, so whenever I need the exact same cookie, I can put it back in the cookies folder and use it for the same site.

 

Is there any option about saving cookies?

 

I couldn't find anything regarding this issue in the forum.

 

Thanks!

[Choose specific match result group]

This website is the perfect place to try different regex to see is which works best: http://rubular.com/

 

If you are unsure, try the website for tips and ways to test your regex.

 

Should be of substantial help.

 

I use rubular.com all the time, unfortunately I couldn't find a solution how to choose a specific match group.

 

I know in Java they can choose which group to pick out of the matching groups (first, second...).

 

Here's an example of what I'm trying to achive: http://rubular.com/r/BB7KMMQxyO

 

There are two match groups. I'm trying to be able to always pick the first (or second) group.

[Choose specific match result group]

Hey,

 

Regex is usually denotated to match groups as $n, where n is the capture group.

 

Does anybody know if there's a way to choose a group number with ubot? $1, $2..

 

Thanks

[[TIP] How to take a screenshot of a webpage and save on a local machine.]

Sounds like a great script to have in stock! However, when I try to run it in my bot, it says 'Unable to load bot because it is not a valid UBot 4 file'.

 

Is there a way to overcome this?

 

Thanks!

[Mass Search and Replace For Text]

However, I can instead put the sites together in a group so that my bot can go through the list while having 1 spin article only to change every day, is that a better alternative? How about for account creation in the sites, can I do this also?

 

I think this is a better approach.

Save your article in a #variable, and for each post, spin the #variable. This way you get a different

 

Here's an example:

 

set(#var, "Hello \{Dad|Mom|Sister|Brother|Son|Grandpa|Grandma\}", "Global")
set(#myspintext, $spin(#var), "Global")

[Problem Choosing Yahoo Answers Category]

Set your user agent to iphone and try it... http://ubotstudio.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif

 

I'll try it as a last option, as I made a full bot using the default user agent.

 

No was around it using the default user agent?

 

Thanks!

Hey,

 

I'm trying to navigate to a chat site which is based on java.

 

When I go through IE or FF, it works, but when I try navigating through ubot, it says my browser needs a java update, and it doesn't work. Even when I tried downloading the update through ubot, it doesn't work.

 

Any ideas?

[Running Bots Through The Cmd With Data]

Hey,

 

So I read this thread about passing parameters with shell command. It's close to what I need..

 

What I want to do is to run the bot with parameters through the cmd, so it starts with parameters it needs (in the ui, for example).

 

For example, if I wanted a bot to go to google and search for #variable. What I want is to be able to run the bot using "botname.exe /auto TEXT", so it takes TEXT as the variable to search for.

 

I couldn't find any info on this, could anyone help?

 

Thanks!

[[RESOLVED] Problem Scraping From a Text File in a Site]

scrape the page and add the proxies to a list

 

When I scrape the page like this: set(#prox, $page scrape("", ""), "Global")

Nothing gets into #prox.

 

Is there a better way to scrape all page?

[[RESOLVED] Problem Scraping From a Text File in a Site]

add list to list(%YourDesiredListName, $list from file("Browse To The File You Want

To Pull Into Your List."), "Delete", "Global")

 

I just reread my post and realized I wasn't clear enough.. it's a URL/proxies.php where the proxies are. I don't have a file with the proxies in my computer.

 

I tried downloading this as a file but it fails to download.

[[RESOLVED] Problem Scraping From a Text File in a Site]

Hey guys,

 

My proxy provider provides the proxies in a link format, it's a php file, which has the proxies only in there, line by line.

 

There's no html/php at all in the file, the source code looks like this:

"

11.22.33.44

12.43.56.12

....

"

 

I'm trying to scrape all the proxies into a list but I have no clue how to do that as there's no attributes.

 

Any help?

 

Thanks!
