jomark3 25 Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 I've only had ubot for about a week. To improve my skills and learn the program, I try to make at least one bot a day. After alot of trial and error, I figured out how to scrape author names from ezinearticles, But...I need to scrub the list to get rid of unrelated items and I can't figure out how to do it. Maybe I used the wrong attribute to scrape (I tried a bunch of them). I also tried to replace some text from the list and adding the results to a new list without success. Anyone interested in helping out a newbie? If you prefer, my skype is jomark33. I have the standard license, version 4 Thanks, jomark3Scrape Author Names 4.ubot Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sktan7 12 Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 I manage to scrape something out few days ago. Lily's tutorial on scraping is very useful. ==> 8. Grab Info to Get More Done <== must read I view that a few times. When you start scraping view and pause her tutorial at the same time. That is how I get it out. Please see my attached, using add item to list. Lily's tutorial also teach you how to scape the next page..... You should read, it will be a great help for you.
