Hi. I have to paste text into a field. I can't use typing or change attributes. I can paste with Control+V (Pro Version) That works just fine. Question: What's the easiest way within Ubot to get text into the clipboard. I have the text in a file and in a variable. But how can I get it into the clipboard so that I then can paste it into a flash field? Thanks in advance for your help Dan

Hi. What happens if people with different screen resolutions do use my bots? How does that affect the move mouse command? What's the best approach to make a bot run with all screen resolutions. And with all sizes of the bot window? Thanks a lot for your feedback Dan

Hi. Where can I find an overview how to send special keys. Home End Page Up Page Down Insert Delete Remove Windows Key Alt GR It was shown in one of the new tutorials, but I would like to have it as a documentation / file to use it as a reference. Thanks in advance for your help Dan

Thanks Lilly, but it will return False if the File used within "create table from file" doesn't exist? Dan

Hi. My work only works correctly when I run it the first time. Here's what I want to do: 1. Text box where I can enter a value 2. Create list from file 3. Text box number has to be equal or lower than $list total I have a stat monitor. Which monitors the variable of the Text box variable. When I enter a number, the monitor gets updated. The List contains 7 items. I start with entering a 1 then a 2 then a 3 and so on. Everything works fine. Let's assume the number I enter is 10. Now I hit start. The variable gets reset to the 7. Now I enter 10 again, and it stays 10. When I

Thanks a lot Praney, is there a tutorial or documentation which explains all the attributes like innerhtml / outerhtml and all the other stuff? That would be really helpful. Thanks Dan

Wow. That's working fine. Would be great if you could explain a little bit how you find such a solution? I watched all the scrape tutorials. But how did you find the choose by attribute outerhtml <P>*</p> Would be great if you could explain that a little bit? Thanks in advance Dan

Hi. I try to scrape text from a very long website (17 Pages with 12.200 Words on it) I have to select the whole page to download it. But without the header and footer code. The problem happens when I try to define the Page Scrape Parameters. It's very slow and it hangs for a couple of seconds when I scroll up and down. Looks like it's just to much data for the page scraper parameters window. Here's the URL: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10322/x.html And here's my complicated bot :-) http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10322/support.ubot The page scrape parameters in the bot are wrong. But I'm not

Hi. At the moment I load the URLs from a file. Navigate to the site. And store a picture of the page in a folder. Then you can look at all the pictures to see if the site still shows what you expect. The goal is detect hacker attacks. Or if the website is offline / unavailable. I will try to implement a more automatic way. With storing the HTML as baseline. Then during the next run, will compare the HTML to the baseline. And only if there's a difference, will download the picture. Dan

Hi. I'm working on a new bot to check for website changes. The sites I want to check are 100% static HTML pages. I though about scraping the page and compare the results against a txt file / list item. Even better would be to get the HTML code of the site. Generate a MD5 checksum of the html code. And then compare the MD5 to a value in the csv. But I don't know if that's possible at all? Would be great if one of the experienced guys could point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance Dan

Hi. Another challenge.. I want to click the green button besides electronics. http://img.skitch.com/20100828-gjdysrbcti5yerpc4nd4f62nwm.jpg Choose by attribute brings identical values for all buttons. The blue text is not clickable. The text and buttons are part of a table: <table class="mGrid" cellspacing="0" border="0" id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolderBody_GridViewRegisteredLinksAvailable" style="border-collapse:collapse;"> <tr> <th scope="col" style="width:50%;">Category</th><th scope="col" style="width:50%;"> </th> </tr><tr> &l

Hi. The problem with choosing a position is, that the amount of text boxes can change. It's an article submission site I try to automate. The amount of text boxes depends on the article. And how many paragraphs the article has. If I have an article with 5 paragraphs, I submit it and on the next page (the one where I have trouble) I have 5 text boxes on the left. One per paragraph. And on the right site if another 5. They are for rewrites. And that are the fields I try to fill. So if there is a way to count the paragraphs of an article, I could calculate the position of the text b

Seth, thanks for your reply. My problem is, that there are 4-8 text boxes on that page with 100% identical parameters. So it's no problem to select the first one. BUT, when I change the content, it get's changed within all 4-8 boxes. But I only want to add text to the first one on the page. Dan

I'm really at the end with my knowledge here :-( I think I tried everything. So if someone has a smart idea, I would really appreciate that. Thanks in advance for you rhelp Dan

Thanks IRobot, but if that would be possible, I would do it. The only value where I can see a difference is outerhtml. <TEXTAREA id=ArticleParagraphV2 class=name_input rows=16 name=ArticleParagraphV2 jQuery1282809424927="490"></TEXTAREA> But the first value depends on the amount of text boxes. Something I don't know because it changes everytime. The second value is random. Dan

Hi. I have a page with 4-20 text entry boxes. The amount of boxes can change every time I use the page. It depends on the amount of paragraphs in my article. Here's my challenge. All entry boxes have the same ID. When I then use "Change chosen attribute" my text get's pasted into all text fields. Here's what I want to do: Even if there are multiple text boxes with the same ID, I would like to tell UBOT, only change the attribute of the first text field with that ID and leave all the others alone on the site. Is that possible? Any other solution for that problem? Thanks a lot

Hi. Would be great if there would be a function to extract the first paragraph from an article. Example: I have a text file with an article (500 words, 5 paragraphs) I use that to fill a text box. But there is another text box I have to fill. Called "Article Summary". Normally that's the first paragraph of the original article. Currently I struggle to extract that from my original article. Would be really great if the strings function could help here? Thanks in advance Dan

Praney, thanks a lot for your help. After testing a little bit I decided to just separate it into three different files. At the moment a lot easier for me to implement it that way. Dan

Hi. I'm reading a 7kb file with spinned text. 3 level spins. I use the spin command to unspin it. The bot crashes. When I use a smaller file, it works fine. Is there a limit? Thanks Dan

Hi. I'm using tables to fill text boxes from a csv file. But there is one major problem I'm running into. How can I add text with line feeds? This works: text1,my next sentence,more infos I can use that to fill the three text boxes within the browser. But how can I add something like: text1,my first article is really nice and has three lines,more infos Is there a way to do that? Any help is highly appreciated Thanks in advance Dan

Hi. Very good question. I'm in front of the same problem right now. I have a article in {|} format. 1 Headline Paragraph and 6 article body paragraphs. So the question is: Can I use Ubot to separate the title from the body content. Like "select first paragraphs / sentence / 23 words)..." Or do I have to separate the stuff via a CSV? Thanks Dan
