So I have been building bots to setup accounts on various websites. Some of the websites have a field for username which also happens to be the subdomain of your account url.

I have a spreadsheet for each of our clients with a list of domain urls which I then create a table from.

Thus far I have been using "if then" statements to go through and determine if a username is available for a specific site. (I don't want to use a random username here because I want the keyword located in the domain if at all possible.)

I have some 30 possible keywords for each client to use as subdomain names and this can be quite time consuming adding all these if then statements.

So my question is would it be better to use a "loop while" command to loop through my keywords, and if so how would this look?

I have attached an example of my current bot which uses if-then statements, but on a completed bot I would have many many more if-then commands.

You could use loop while with the condition being table cell does not contain the keyword:

loop while($not($contains($table cell(&mytable, #row, 0), #keyword))) {
comment("Do Whatever")
increment(#row)
}

Thanks so much. The increment command is what I was looking for.

So what if I want it to start on row 11???? Is there a parameter to start the increments at 11 and go up one from there?

Hey Josh,

Use a ui text box to set where to start from, then set row to that variable.

Example:
ui text box("Start From ", #start)
set(#row, #start, "Global")

can do it that way or set the variable before beginning your loop process.

Much Thanks!

Yeah, I accidentally left out the node set(#row,0) just before the loop...set it to whatever number you like...Just remember lists and tables are 0 based so 9 is actually row 10, etc (since row 1 is 0)
