This worked great for me. Thanks

I have a bot that loops through some steps including opening a local file and doing stuff with the data. The problem that comes up is the bot will stop with an error if the file it tries to open doesnt exist. So, is there an easy way to check to see if the file exists before opening it? I have ideas for a complicated way using the get files, but I figured there might/should be an easier way. And bring up the get files... I tried using that with the path off and it still brings in the path. Thanks -Charles

How about a bot with a monthly recurring fee, can your system handle that?

escaping the data entered in the cell didnt solve the problem. I got around the issue by using a list and just using one large add. Tables is much easier and "prettier" but it just wasn't working. Thanks

yes. I have a 26 cell row and some cells have java and php.

I have been working on a bot that automates something I do in excel. This is not an issue just with ubot as excel does this too (when saved as a csv)... I have a table with all sorts of stuff including some cells with java and php code. The code has some comas and I needed pipe output anyway so I set it to use pipes. I need the text pipe output to use with another script. When the table is saved to a file all of the script code gets surrounds by double quotes. <script type="text/javascript"> ... becomes this |"<script type=""text/javascript""> ... "| This d

trying to get a bot to scrape yahoo search assist (suggestion) but I'm having a challenge in grabbing the text. its all within an <a> tag but the rest changes....sometimes there is an id and others there isn't Here is some sample: <A id=yui_3_3_0_1_130593081879611 class=selected tabIndex=-1 href="http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=AuiQpY85_lxWjZ8Tsdks_bGbvZ?fr=yfp-t-701-s&toggle=1&cop=mss&ei=UTF8&p=dog%20breeds"><STRONG></STRONG>dog b<STRONG>reeds</STRONG></A> How do I choose on that? Thanks.

I did find out that if you accidentally leave a blank line in the keywords file you will get a lot of "junk" from it just running the alpha.

that honey pot method is cool. never seen that before. I've been working on a keyword tool today and found this post while search for some help. I'll PM you. Thanks

Hi, I need a framework for a bot that will work from a csv list. Many times I something that I want to change on my site (like a setting in wordpress). With a lot of sites that is too clicking and logging in for some simple changes. I can script the bot that will do the changes so I dont need that. What I need is the framework that allow me to have a csv with a list of sites with some extra columns for site specific data (like the password for login or whatever I need to have for that site) and do what ever functions I want for each site in the csv. In generic terms... 1)read i

Thanks for the answers and the code snipet. I dont see html panel in standard. Is that a pro feature?

for a ui checkbox, is there a way to set it by default so the bot opens with the box being checked (True)? Thanks -Charles

well, it just decided to start working on its own. I think this and other inconsistencies come down to a couple things. 1) you should save the bot before running - even with building and testing. 2) sometimes you need to reload (open) the bot again to "reset" everything. 3) sometimes you need to close and reopen the program to fully "reset" everything. If I do one of more of things things most minor issues I have seem to go away. Thanks -Charles

This is inside a cpanel. So it cant be accessed without login. All cpanels using x3 theme should be like this. If you or anyone else has access to a panel perhaps you can see if it works for you. Thanks

Im trying to get a checkbox to work and whatever I try it just doesn't want to work. Inside cpanel (x3) and inside raw access log there are two checkboxes. Im trying to check the first one. I have tried selecting it using several methods. And tried checking it using the checked true and just using the click chosen. Nothing.
