Is there a way to make a Comparison between the page date and the system date

Hello every one ,

 

Is there a way to make a Comparison between the page date and the system date ( the current day ) ? 

 

Like if the page date is the current day stop the bot else start over .

 

Thanks

You should be able to get the system date with the shell batch plugin.

Hi.

 

first you have to scrapte the date from the page into a variable. 

Maybe you also have to convert it. So that you can compare it correctly.

 

You can get the system date with the following plugin:

Hope that helps a little bit.

 

Cheers

u dont need  a plugin  ubot has default a $date function inside  use it with a regexmethode and u got what u want

set(#myyear, $find regular expression($date, "[0-9]\{4,4\}"), "Global")

If date/time format on the page is in the same format as UBots $date then you can just go ahead and compare them directly, if not, I think you'll find the DateTime Manipulation plugin helpful, since for comparison you'll want to convert both times to UNIX time-stamp before comparing them.

 

Here is an example of comparison:
