Hi Everyone, I wanted to confirm the same issues with SQLite and NULL values and DOUBLE QUOTES in your literal strings. I wrestled with this for several hours till I had a breakthrough via trial&error and research on this forum and the web, so I wanted to make this post to save someone else a headache. PROBLEM #1: SQLite databases and NULL values (you can't do it) My Solution: In the Ubot code below, I had to do a $comparison when a variable contained nothing/NULL value, I chose to set the value to the string "None" in my case. if($comparison(#xProdViews,"= Equals",$nothing)) { the

Hi Dan, Disregard, I replied too soon and made newbie mistake, I didn't realize I could override the "attribute to get" field and type in "content". Duh! Sorry for the bother... but thank you for more valuable training videos, I got even more nuggets of info and you've convinced me to purchase Cbrowser plugin. Thanks, -Rich

Hi Dan, Thank you for the response and video links, I will watch those now. The issue for me may be with my HTTP Plugin, I don't have the option "content" under the "attribute to get" like in your screenshot, I only have available (Innerext,InnerHTML,OuterHTML,value,id,name,src,href,type,action,title). I'm currently running (Amen's) HTTP Post v2.5.1.0. I'll check with him and see if that's the most updated version. Thank, -Rich

Hi Dan, Your previous suggestion is working great. The only major problem I'm have is that I have an Xpath expression that works perfectly in XBP, but it will NOT work in Ubot HTTP Plugin. Actually, anytime I try to extract data from //meta tags, XBP pulls the data but Ubot HTTP Plugin will not. I've tried everything I can think of and checked all over the web but to no avail. Here is what I have... XBP returns the same data for all three versions of these, but nothing in Ubot HTTP Plugin (I'm using InnerText setting and tried the others). I even tried to use "description" meta tag in expr

Hi Dan, Thanks, yeah I guess pulling the data back and working with it via a List in Ubot is the easiest way to get a value. I was trying to do it on the fly with Xpath expression. I guess when I saw the XBP status bar easily reporting the number of elements for each expression it made me want to use Xpath to return a value in Ubot, but your suggestion works perfect. Thanks, -Rich

Hi Dan, I've been out of the Ubot loop for the last 8 months due to accident injury, but I just purchased your Xpath Builder Pro and I wanted to say what an incredible job you did with the Xpath Builder videos! I also have your HTTP Plugin videos which were/are great, but you really did an excellent job of explaining the nuances between the different Ubot plugins (BigTable, Cbrowser, HTTP Post plug-ins) when using Xpath expressions and just using Xpath expressions in general (i.e. /text() versus InnerText, etc.) You've done a fantastic job of organizing your knowledge and the information whe

UPDATE: So far I've been using Proxy-N-vpn service for a couple weeks I have their PP-5 (private proxies service) and it's been working flawlessly!! I'm going to be upgrading to more of their private proxies, will probably jump on their Black Friday Sale!! Other feedback: Proxy-N-vpn is much better than the 100 shared proxies service I've purchase from proxybonanza (though PNV proxies are private), A lot of the proxybonanza shared proxies are not valid on their shared plan. I've also tried out HideMyAss (HMA) shared and private proxies for a year and I wasn't impressed (I heard they improved- 91 replies

Ok, I got my proxies activated pretty quickly by Proxy-N-vpn now, that's a good sign! Going to test them out this week against Google's newest algo changes that crippled some of my scraping scripts this month due to big G's newest IP detection/timing/banning schema, will let everyone know my results. -Rich

Hi Guys, I thought I would give a bit of an update since I haven't commented lately on this post. I had purchased v5 a while back but immediately switched to v4 because everything and everyone was using v4 and v4 plugins plus all the trainings were using v4 (thanks Ubot Buddy). I learned Ubot Studio with v4 installed and Buddy's training, then I had a Microsoft Win Update that killed my Win7 OS (reboot loop issue), so I was forced to reinstall OS and everything else but this time I reinstalled Ubot v5.5.1 based on Dan's recent input and watching his training on Aymen's HTTP POST Plugin. So,

I'm going to try out this proxy service... I just purchased the PP-5 (private proxies service), still waiting for the service to go live, it says "pending" in my account when I login to their service to get my proxies setup. I'll let all forum members know how this service rates. Btw, I've been using various other vendors for proxy and VPN services for the last 7 years and there have been some good services and some really bad ones too (ones bordered on shady biz practices with my credit card). So, I'll give my feedback for Proxy-N-VPN soon. -Rich

Hey The Fixer, I believe most Ubotters run SQLite to write to the local disk on their PC and maybe on a hosted VPS or dedicated server. Shared web hosted accounts (usually Linux or Windows based) will most certainly not allow you to run SQLite directly on the server. Here is some SQLite info that may answer your question better, since I'm not sure what your end goal is with SQLite and your data. You may just be looking for a traditional RDBMS like MySQL to store and manipulate your data. About SQLite http://www.sqlite.org/about.html Appropriate Uses For SQLite http://www.sqlite.org/whento

Hey Aymen, This looks like a really nice plugin! I just ordered. Thanks, Rich

Ubottraining.com down? Is it on a new domain?

Hey Buddy, Glad to hear back from you, sorry you are having ear infection troubles, I wish you a speedy recovery. We were a bit worried for your welfare, you are an asset here in the Ubot community. We look forward to your other works and website whenever you get it going. Thanks for all your hard work with the training videos, they really help and are a great reference when coding Ubot scripts. -Rich -
ok, I figured it out, it was my programming, lol In the replace command, I needed to swap the variable in the Search Text field with the text to be replaced in the Original Text field, resulting in the code looking like this... which works perfectly: set(#itemTransFullURLs, $replace(#TempURLs, "/transaction/", "https://www.domain.com/transaction/"), "Global") -Rich

Hey Guys, I'm scratching my head here also. I'm running UbotStudio v5.5.1 and I can't rule out that a simple replace command is not working due to a bug in the UbotStudio or my programming. I have two variables, one (#TempURLs) with a block of text relative URLs and a second variable (#itemTransFullURLs) with a replace command to replace a portion of text (/transaction/) in the relative URLs with text of full path (absolute) URLs (https://www.domain.com/transaction/). The replace command will not do the replace. I've tried quotes, escaping the characters, etc. but it won't perform the replac
