how do you trim a username to 10 characters?

If you have dev license you can use $subtext to trim any text.

sorry

 

i dont have dev license..........standard license.

With the standard license you'll need to first make sure the page you have loaded has javascript elements so that ubot can use js functions. If you need help with getting a page to load javascript so that this stuff works send me a PM and I'll walk you through a hack for non-js enabled pages..

 

Let's assume the page has JS loaded already. From there, I'd set #variable = to an eval of : "{1}".substring(0,X);

 

{1} is the ubot filler for your variable you want trimmed, and X is the length you want it trimmed to. Eval tells ubot to 'evaluate' what's in the box. In this case we're telling ubot to use javascript to load the string and cut a chunk out, starting at the 0 position going until the Xth character. Hope this helps

You also have the option (if that's the way your script is set up) to use Dave's eval in a set command at the beginning of the script since ubot defaults to a js enabled page.

 

So if your ui text box is #username and the input is dangthisisalongusername, you can immediately use a set command to re-set the variable and shorten it. If that;s not possible (i.e. the string is not in the ui inputs elements) then you will need the workaround Dave is referring to.

ok

 

Let's assume the page has JS loaded already. From there, I'd set #variable = to an eval of : "{1}".substring(0,X);

 

 

 

can you help on that?

 

i dont know how to set a variable like that.

 

this is what i did?

 

set #variable1

 

content: $eval

 

on eval i type "{1}".substring(0,10);

 

and below eval i put the variable again.. #variable1

[ubotapprentice 1]

can someone send the actual node to see how its done?

[Super Dave 26]

Here ya go. Take a look around the web for more details on what you can do with javascript.

 

It can run in the 'eval' node, or under actions you have the 'run javascript' node

example.shortstring.ubot
