Element offset question

[big dog status 2]

Hi guys and girls,

 

In my current bot I am scraping a message that the user has sent. The problem is I want to scrape the newest message they sent and each conversation is different because some send one message, some send dozens..

 

So is there a way to obtain the total offsets for that particular element?

 

So.. If userA has just sent three mesages, I will scrape the element containing the message, with an offset of 3 to get the latest message, etc

       If userB has just sent 5 messages, I will scrape the element containing the message, with an offset this time of 5, to get the latest message.

 

Is this possible? It must be.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

Yes but the offset for 3 would be 2 and 5 would be 4 because the first offset position starts at 0.

Hey thanks for your help and the reminder to start at 0. My question is though, how can I determine how many elements there are at that particular time and then chose the highest number? When we make our bots ubot studio will tell us how many element offsets there are for a particular element but how can we determine this within the bot itself?

 

Thanks ;0)

Add them into a list and make sure you set it to not delete the duplicates. Then just get the list total and that's how many there are.

Perfect, great idea.
