Aaron Nimocks 19 Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 You would have to add it to a list or variable and scrape it. Witoutht seeing the code I would scrape what is in between Yahoo! ID & Email (scrape) Birthday After you have it in a list or variable then you would save to file.

crazyflx 22 Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 First you'd want to add that email to a list, and then you'd simply save that list to a file. Like this (this is literally exactly what you'd need...it's specific to Yahoo's "success" page): http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/746/scrapethensaveyahooemai.jpg Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As it turns out, it was because I was using "change chosen attribute" to type in my username, first name, password, etc. They have javascript attached to each field so you have to use "send keys field chosen" instead of "change chosen attribute" so that it appears (at least to the JS) that a human has typed them in and not a bot. At least, that is what ended up working for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Natureboy 3 Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 so that applies to entering the captcha as well?...and to reiterate...after i chose the attribute...instead of change chosen...i must send keys field chosen right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Natureboy 3 Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 also...what did u do for the 2 secret questions?...at first i had choose random child...but sometimes it would choose either "select one" or "type ur question here" and would give me an error...so i selected one of the nickname questions and one of the team questions...then made 2 list boxes at the top that you would select a name and team prior to running the bot (i know there is probably a way to make it pull from a list but this is my first bot and i havent gotten that far in the understanding of using lists yet) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hellrot 0 Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Not exactly what you're looking for, but if you used the $username to create the username for the yahoo account, when saving that bit to a file I saved the username created ($username) and just appended the @yahoo.com to it.

I used the "send key field chosen" instead of "change chosen attribute" should i use "send key field chosen" for every thing on the page ?I dont know how to use it for a drop down menu such as Gender or Months Quote Link to post Share on other sites
