100million 1 Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I was trying to do a research bot, but was stucked at step #1. But what I'm getting from the output are a heap of trash covering the info I want. Either I'm choosing the wrong stuff or I've scrapped the wrong thing... Has anyone done this before? Spent lots of time trying to figure this out but failed. Thus any help is greatly appreciated. (have attached my broken bot here)ScrapeGoogleSearch.ubot Quote Link to post Share on other sites
UBotBuddy 331 Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Google loves Botters scraping their results! They love us so much they have started to change their results pages almost daily. We love it! The torture, the frustration and the futility of trying to match our code to their results. It's wonderful! Joking aside. Google makes it hard. Let me study your code and I will see if I can find a temporary solution. Until their next change. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

UBotBuddy 331 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Sorry, I will start studying this today. I have been away due to an eye issue so I am a bit behind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Saxon 1 Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 I can't get this simple, damn thing to work. http://i52.tinypic.com/2rfa5tz.jpg I copied and pasted from the google page, so I dunno if that's an L, an I, or pipe |, but I copied it and I get a blank text file at the end.
