Can someone help me work through this eval function

[theninjamanz 29]

Hi there.

 

I don't really know the best way to do this but here goes.

 

Let's say that a form has a varying number of asterisks on a page.

 

If the number of asterisks is 3 then run sub.

If the number of asterisks is 4 then run sub.

 

The problem I have is not the above, but how I can arrive at the value that equals the number.

 

Is there a tutorial that will help me understand this.

 

I need to count the number of asterisks (but for the sake of argument could be the number of times the letter X is on a page) then do an eval on that.

 

I am guessing I would use the Page scrape or search page function?

 

Can someone help.

 

Cheers.

scrape the whole page into a variable.

Create temp "List from text" using * as the delimeter.

#numberofasterisks=list total(templist)

dec #numberofasterisks (this is because the list will have one more line that delimeters so you need to decrease by one).

 

Hope that makes sense!

Thanks, will have a look at this and let you know.

How can I scrape the whole page.

 

When I use the command it asks me what I want on the left and right. I just want everything, so I'm not sure what I need to select.

Cheers, worked it out, just needed to select the range of the scrape.

 

I've attached a graphic in case it helps someone else.

Cool - glad you worked it out. Sometimes with ubot you have to a little 'creative'. Using lists/delimeter to count the number of occurances is something I thought up early on and have used it myself a couple of times.
