If Contains This Exact String With Wildcard Url, Then Click On Link

[alexb 2]

Hi Everyone,

 

I'm trying to figure out how to code this, since all else is failing or other methods (like scrape attribute of the >> image) are causing a bot crash.

 

I want to accomplish this with wildcard inserted in href, but UBOT doesn't like the coding:

 

        if($contains("<a class="backgroundBasic mrs bas pvs phm" href=w"//abc.com/*_p/" aria-label="Next page">>></a>") {

            then {

                click(<aria-label="Next page">,"Left Click","No")

 

Is there a simple way to confirm for the string below is present, before clicking on the link?

<a class="backgroundBasic mrs bas pvs phm" href=w"//www.trulia.com/for_rent/*_p/" aria-label="Next page">>></a>

 

I'm stuck in scrape because the next button continues on through all the pages being scraped, but at the last page, the link disappears but NEXT (>>) button remains present and the bot won't move on and decrement the list.

 

Thank you!

Try this:

if($is blank($scrape attribute(<aria-label="Next page">,"href"))) {
    then {
        comment("Last Page")
        alert("Last Page")
    }
    else {
        comment("Not last page")
        alert("Not last page")
    }
}

I would use $exists

if $exists

   then

Nick's right that is better and it removes the Ubot subscription dependency, here try this instead:

if($exists(<(aria-label="Next page" AND href=w"*trulia.com*")>)) {
    then {
        alert("not last page")
    }
    else {
        alert("last page")
    }
}
