whats status? ETA today? Tomorrow? Its ok to be wrong on estimate as long as youre honest. But just a tad of info would be nice.

yes I did same, only I went back to 6.1.14. I was a guinea pig for a problem installing on my machine for many of the versions from about 6.1.9 to 6.1.14 so that was the one that worked for me, I downgraded to it. Had to uninstall a few other ubot studios. Unsure how I had so many installed. I uninstalled them during my problem. Regardless, I deleted all other versions and settled back into 6.1.14. Other thread is where I got the idea also. At least I can keep working now. I havent heard anything from anyone at ubot regarding problems. They havent responded to the ticket yet. Maybe it

Yes, I have same problem. I submitted ticket with emergency status. Everything you said plus bots that loaded in 5 secs now over 5 minutes. Switch from text to nodes takes forever or hangs. Ive given up on ubot for the day. Hopefully later we get a new udate or wake up tomorrow and see it.

uh, can someone from ubot or a moderator please speak to whats going on?

I just installed exbrowser last week, been struggling with the exbrowser scrape table command and the xpath. Ive watched all the youtube tutorials. Ive seen single element scrape and a list but not a table and cant seem to make it go. Here is my stripped down script. Can someone please help? Ive come to understand xpath expressions for single and list elements but the table has me in a conundrum: plugin command("ExBrowser.dll", "ExBrowser CleanUp", "No") plugin command("ExBrowser.dll", "ExBrowser Launcher", "Chrome", "", "") plugin command("ExBrowser.dll", "ExBrowser Navigate", "https:/

I solved this by downloading an OCR program called Capture2Text and I run a command line to process images with text in it.

Can someone please tell me what Im doing wrong. Just trying to download an image off a website. I have an example and I changed the terget site for this post. download file("https://c.stockcharts.com/pnf/chart?c=MMM,PWTADANRNO[PA][D][F1!3!!!2!20]&r=1292&pnf=y","C:\\Users\\owner\\Documents\\Personal\\investing\\pf_images\\mmm.png") What is wrong with this? Im getting an error from Ubot that says: Error: The remote server an error: (400) Bad request. If I run it a second time I get varying responses between: Error: The remote server returned an error: (502) Bad Gatewa

Is there a way to look at this image and read the text "Ascending Triple top" and/or know that P&F Patter is green? https://stockcharts.com/freecharts/pnf.php?c=ayx,P

Im trying to get some text off a pdf file. The web page allows you to open the pdf in your browser if you have the adobe's plug-in but I cant get the ubot browser to open the pdf. I can also save the pdf, but then I dont know how to get the text off of it. Is there some plug-ins that do this? Or is there a pdf to text converter someone knows of I can run as a script? All I want to do is get all the text off a pdf usually just 2-4 pages in length. Once I have access to the text I can process it and get what I need out of it.

Uhh... could you point me int he right direction on that? Maybe a link to something similar or an small example? Thanks.

I can wait for element, I dont think that matters, does it? Either way I can get to the page that shows "Property Details". My issue isnt waiting for the "Property Details" to appear, its clicking on the "Property Details" link and getting the tab/new window to popup. The ubot browser doesnt correctly open the new page. Other ideas? Thanks. Noob

Hi All: Struggling with something here that I need advice on. See the script below, once this completes, there is a "Property Details" link on the right I need to get access to. The ubot browser shows an odd object that doesn't do what a normal browser does. How do I get at the info on this page in order to scrape it? set user agent("Chrome") navigate("http://gis2.co.dakota.mn.us/maps/property.htm", "Wait") wait for browser event("Everything Loaded", "") type text(<name="searchOne">, "42-83400-05-104", "Standard") click(<name="submit1">, "Left Click", "No") wait for browser

Ive got my bot to a page with many email links that are all java scripts. I scrape the one line of java into a list then I run each script. When the link is clicked in a normal browser, an email client is popped up with the email address populated. I want that email address. When I run the javascript in ubot, the browser shows (for example) mailto:johndoe@abc.com with the green action circle swirling perpetually. My ubot will continue, but how do I get this email address off of here? Ive tried capturing the $url and the $title but I get nothing.

Im not sure how to do this, I suspect its through javascript.... How would I divide a variable and drop the remainder? For example, y=72. y/25 = 2.88 but I only want the "2" part of the answer. Thanks.

Well, that goes to show your should try things first. I made the poor assumption pause would cause a restart from the beginning. Thanks and I apologize for the waste of time.

How would I get my bot to stop executing temporarily, then allow a user to interact with the browser, then get the bot to kick back in and finish up? I hope to be able to do this with the compiled bot. Any suggestions would be helpful. thanks. -Noober

Noob here, sorry for the basic question: Ive been using ubots with success for a few months. very happy and I think Im getting proficient but one thing I keep wondering about is why the opportunity for multiple scripts in any one bot? Can someome help me understand why someone might want to have multiple tabs/scripts and when you compile and play them, which one fires? If there is a tutorial on this, or knowledge base answer Im happy to be pointed in that direction... Thanks. Noob

Thanks AutomationNija: Yes, Im not looking to confirm the select statement, its the insert. I guess I can run a select statement right after the insert to see if what I had hoped was in there, would be in there, but I was running into the scenario where the data Im inserting into a mysql table isnt unique to that table.... if it is a duplicate record, possibly a few times over, how do I know which one I inserted, in order to confirm it went in there? I guess, one option is to tag a date and time to the insert, then query to see if that record with the date and time made it in or not. A

Im finding that if I have a data mismatch, or something, strange that causes my insert statement to fail, I get no indication of the failure to execute the command. Can someone help me understand ways to recognize if my sql command works or not. Obviously I can tell if a select works by whether I get data or not... I tried using a "set" node for a new variable, and putting my sql command in the new value field, but the node wont accept the sql command. I was thinking I could get a -1 for a failed insert, or something of the like. Whether or not I have a data issue, I would like to ge
