Newbie- help with simple? bot

[jomark3 25]

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,

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.

Hey Duane,

 

Thanks for the info. I think my problem may be in my use of wildcards ind attributes.

Thanks rusty,

 

I watched Lily's tutorial (twice) and found my mistake. I hope to be amazed in a month or so.
