if condition with a $exists looking for *

[Reverze 0]

I have a new challenge that already cost me about 3 hours and I can't figure it out

 

I have this code:

<td style="padding:4px;background-color:#203e42">just some 
text*</td>

I need to make a IF condition that needs to look if there is a star behind the text or not (the text is different every time).

I need to use outerhtml because the backgroundcolor also need to exists.

I already tried the following and more but without success:

 

 

    if($exists(<outerhtml=w"<td 
style=\"padding:4px;background-color:#203e42\">*\*</td>">)) {        then {            alert("Star")        }

 

if($exists(<outerhtml=w"<td 
style=\"padding:4px;background-color:#203e42\">*"*"</td>">)) 
{then {alert("Star")}

 

if($exists(<outerhtml=w"<td 
style=\"padding:4px;background-color:#203e42\">*'*'</td>">)) 
{then {alert("Star")}

Is it possible to do this with only a $exists?

You should first scrape the data you want to a variable
and test the variable for whatever you need it to have after that.

I don't understand why it's not possible with a single $exists.

I searched the forums and read this topic http://www.ubotstudio.com/forum/index.php?/topic/6026-wildcard-not-working-correctly/?p=34047

There they say you can escape characters like * with [*].

 

Is that not working anymore in the newer releases of ubot?

I've got it to work with the same method you explained me yesterday, but still I think it should be possible with a single $exists

 

The version that works now is:

set(#Star, $scrape attribute(<outerhtml=w"<td style=\"padding:4px;background-color:#203e42\">*</td>">,"innertext"), "Global")
set(#Star, $find regular expression(#Star, "\\*"), "Global")
set(#Star, $trim(#Star), "Global")
if($comparison(#Star, "=", "*")) {
  then {
     alert("Star")        
  }

 

Thanks for your time again VaultBoss!

if($contains($scrape attribute(<outerhtml=w"<td style=\"padding:4px;background-color:#203e42\">*</td>">,"innertext"), "*")) {
    then {
        alert("Star")
    }
    else {
        alert("No Star")
    }
}

For some reason, $exists seems to fail working in certain instances, but Blumi's workaround does.

 

Thanks mate...
