How To Use Multi-Threading With This?

[Chris M 55]

Hey guys,

I've never used multi-threading before. Wanted to experiment with it and used another example from TJ here in the forums and just tried to copy over my
code and mix n match and it created a TON of errors so I cleaned up the code again and took out the crap I came up with

Can anyone fix this and make it multi-threaded so I have an idea of how to do it?

on load("Bot Loaded") {
    plugin command("Advanced Ubot.dll", "hide menu strip (this app)", "True")
    clear cookies
}

ui text box("Bitly Username",#login)
ui text box("Bitly API Key",#apikey)
ui text box("Insert URL Here (Only use www.domain.com )",#url)
ui button("Start") {
    plugin command("Advanced Ubot.dll", "main button click", "Run")
}

download file("http://techpatterns.com/downloads/firefox/useragentswitcher.xml","{$special folder("Application")}\\useragentswitcher.xml")

Put Startup In loop

I would start with a simple example first Chris. And after you understand the concept completely, look into your code. 

Let me know if you need an example.

I had an example by TJ that looked easy enough but after adding it to my bot and moving code around I was left with a ton

of errors. :/

There are two parts to muiltithreading.

 

1. The management and control of the threads. Starting the threads and monitoring when threads are closed

2. Making your code thread ready. It has to run within defines. Every define has to have all the data within the define to work properly. 

Reading and wring global variables, lists and tables can be a problem.

Ok. Thank you Dan.

Ok. Thank you Dan.

 

I will send you an example next week when I have some free time.

Hi,

 

Here is a simple multi thread sample. Threading your program will not be easy. Trying to keep the shortened urls together and in order with the url used to generate them.

ui text box("threads", #threads)
ui text box("cycles", #cycles)
set(#theadcount, 0, "Global")
set(#cyclecount, 0, "Global")
loop(#cycles) {
    loop(#threads) {
        loop while($comparison(#theadcount, ">=", #threads)) {
            wait(1)
        }
        increment(#theadcount)
        thread {
            in new browser {
                navigate("http://www.ubotstudio.com/playground/simple-form", "Wait")
                wait for browser event("Everything Loaded", "")
                reset account("Any")
                type text(<username field>, "{$account data("First Name")}{$account data("Last Name")}", "Standard")
                type text(<first name field>, $account data("First Name"), "Standard")
                type text(<password field>, $account data("Password"), "Standard")
                click(<value="Submit">, "Left Click", "No")
                wait for browser event("Everything Loaded", "")
                wait(3)
            }
            decrement(#theadcount)
        }
    }
    increment(#cyclecount)
}
wait(30)
stop script
