Looking sweet. But do we get 'if then else' in this version?
Frank

Totally agreed mate. Any way for a chip like me to get involved on the programming end?

Yupp, something have to be done in the close future. But I think taking care of bugs and minor enhancements etc is a more valuable thing right now.
But yes, definitely something to think about.

I'm just guessing here - but I think it would react the same way as anything else. Most preferably would be to use the $document folder right now, and use the $local folder when that one comes.
Good to know. I didn't know that you could use either wildcard in a file name. I'd like to be able to create the filename wholly in the bot. Right now a 'save file' option just doesn't exist in ubot.

I'd like to throw my two cents into the ring as I think that there is a ton of room for improvement in being able to create the gui interface necessary to do the job on a compiled bot. It would be absolutely awesome to be able to have the bot running hidden and present a completely customized gui to the user. This may not be possible, but maybe tying it to vbasic or the such and permit one to create a gui and load it into ubot would be something.
Yes, I know that this tool is designed with simplicity in mind, but I'll tell you something. There's nothing in terms of ease of web automation that matches much of ubots functionality. But ubot seems to stumble in the presentation.
Whereas, vb is uber easy in the creation of in interface but completely complex to do web automation.
Something to think about.

This topic has been nipped a few times, so considering the ability to tag on qualifiers to a ubot file kinda makes sense. I for one would put my vote in for that.
Things like /run or /paramaters=45566¶mater2=39ddkefih

You've gotta hate it when a simple bug just slips by. Took a quick look at your script and your problem lies in your sub, 'check for contact form 7'.
In the if statement, you didn't change the 'search page' to the contact from from 'Akismet'.
I find that this happens when I copy and paste a step.
Check it out. I've attached an image where the error lies.

I just thought that I'd take a moment to compliment the creators of the ubot software. Very often all you as the creators will hear complaints or 'why can ubot do this' questions.
And very often, you don't hear how much we love what you have created.
Well, I wanted to say that UBot truly rocks. I've been using it now for about a month or so and the more I use it the more I want to use it!
I've tested and bought several automation tools and for the sheer flexibility of this tool and the things that it can do puts it to the very top of my list. Kinda comes down to, if ubot can't do it, I'm in trouble!
So, I will continue to ask for enhancements and gripe when something just isn't right, but deep down inside, I love using ubot to get the job done and I want to see it get even better!
Thanks very much and as a satisfied customer, keep up the GREAT work!

Thanks. Hey another side question regarding includes, can one include without an absolute directory path to the file and use a relative path to a file?
Absolute: C:/directory1/directory2/file1.ubot
Relative: file1.ubot or ../includes/file1.ubot

Thanks for your suggestion, but I'm going to wait on updates to hopefully overcome this issue. If ubot had the ability to turn javascript on and off during running, well, then maybe, but in the long term; even this isn't a solution.
Cheers and thanks again!

Yes, I did try this method as well. No dice. ubot throws an error when I try to use a DIV tag with wildcards.
Great, look forward to the update!

Well, I think I may have seen the future of captcha images on the buzzle.com site. What they are doing is splitting the image numbers into 5 distinct images and if you try to just grap one, you are stuck. You'll find this under the create user profile form.
You have to grab each after another and keep a running captcha variable. Would be awesome if you could grab multiple images at the same time and resolve them as a group within ubot.
Probably a bit early to tell, but this might just be the wave of the future.

I have a question for the ubot gurus out there. I'm currently creating a bot that ties many other bots together to simplify and easily expand the functionality of the parent bot.
Now, I'd like to only call the external bots if they are selected. My question is, is it a safe programming practice to encapsulate the include statement within an if statement. Thus the external bot will only be called when it is requested?
Probably clear as mud aye?

Seth, I popped off a ticket in the ticketing system that you can ignore. You've answered it.

Seems that I just started a thread on exactly the same thing.
So, I'll pitch my hat into the ring with you folks....
Any ideas from the ubot staff would be greatly appreciated.....

Better memory handling is a must feature later down the line.
Don't really know the dyanamics of ubot, but the memory issues could be an internet explorer issue. I've noticed that version 8 is a huge memory hog. Good old M$.

Sent you a PM

Good work around to be sure. The replace feature definitely needs boning up to support wildcards.

I can only talk to the threading. I was chatting with a tech today and right now, no threading is not available. But there is rumors of it coming soon.

How do I change a number that is like, 1.34594940 and strip off the decimal portion and just display the whole number?
