Looping through txt files in a folder

[orbital 15]

I want to specify a folder for ubot to look in for plr articles.

 

Then I want it to open the first txt file in the specified folder, select all, copy then paste it into a wysiwyg editor on my webpage then hit save

Then open the next txt file and select all, copy and paste it into the second wysiwyg editor on my webpage and so on and so forth for 10 articles.

 

How do I do this?

You might be able to do it by getting a specific keyword from a certain text file, but not sure how to make it random.

So I made a short screencast illustrating what I mean by looping through text files within a folder.

 

Is this possible with ubot?

set(#path, "C:\\Users\\yourPhat", "Global")

add list to list(%MyFiles, $get files(#path, "No"), "Delete", "Global")

loop($list total(%MyFiles)) {

set(#file, "{#path}\\{$next list item(%MyFiles)}", "Global")

add list to list(%file, $list from file(#file), "Delete", "Global")

comment("DO WHAT EVER U WANNA DO HERE")

}

 

try this

set(#path, "C:\\Users\\yourPhat", "Global")

add list to list(%MyFiles, $get files(#path, "No"), "Delete", "Global")

loop($list total(%MyFiles)) {

set(#file, "{#path}\\{$next list item(%MyFiles)}", "Global")

add list to list(%file, $list from file(#file), "Delete", "Global")

comment("DO WHAT EVER U WANNA DO HERE")

}

 

try this

 

thanks for that help. I am getting a problem with the apostrophes are getting replaced with a weird black diamond shape in the file it is reading. Is there a way to fix that?

okay

i thing thats because of Encodeingformat

ubot use utf8 windowsmaschines use ANSI

 

in this case i would try this.... (depence on whats your skills with dos-promt)

 

create with notepad a new textdocument save this document as yourname.txt

on the saveoption in notepad u can change the encodeingformat to utf8

 

open a dos-promt (cmd.exe)

walk to your documentroot where all the lists in (like: cd c:\user\me\mydocs\mylists)

then u can fillup your newUTF8 created yourname.txt file whit this command dir > "c:\thePathToTheFile\yourname.txt"

 

maybe if u open yourname.txt u have to clean some things too but u can do that easy with search/replace in Notepad.

 

after that u can load the file into ubot

 

instead of

add list to list(%MyFiles,$get files(#path,"No"),"Delete","Global")

use

add list to list(%MyFiles, $list from file(c:\pathToTheFile\yourname.txt"), "Delete", "Global")

 

hope that helps u

 

by the way

try to save your lists in a clear format no specialcharakters

 

wrong -> this is my super dok.txt

fine -> this_is_my_super_dok.txt
