Thanks, that did it! Duh! Always helps to have someone else look at it. Now for some reason it is not recognizing what I type in in response to the Captcha prompt, says it does not match the captcha image even though it does (I'm using manual Captcha). Funny thing though it still completes the registration properly. I'll keep fiddling....

I am trying to automate a user registration form. There is a Captcha on the form. In a browser, you fill in all the required fields, type in the Captcha and then press Enter or click the Registration button. This completes the registration and pops up a new window in a new tab to let you know it has been done. In Ubot, I can get as far as filling in everything and solving the Captcha, but when I simulate Enter or click the Registration button, nothing happens. If I run the script that far and then manually hit enter or click the button in the Ubot browser, that does not work either.

No its with a Cpanel email account. It only occurs for email from one particular source. Haven't seen it with Gmail accounts yet.

Thanks, but I'm not doing any database insertion. I use the Create Table From Emails function within the Connect To Mail Server section. I agree that these characters would cause problems if I were inserting data into a MySQL database. As I said, the bot works correctly for other sources of email, just this one source is doing something to their emails that so far eludes me. I've examined the source code of the emails manually and don't see anything obvious. Next I'm going to try processing the emails one at a time and use the Email Body Text and Email Body HTML functions to see if

I'm writing a bot to create a table from emails sent to particular accounts and then process them. Access is through IMAP so I can delete the retrieved emails. For one particular email account, there is no email body in either column 4 or column 5 of the created table, which is where they usually end up. Yet if I manually login to the email account, there are indeed email bodies, everything looks normal. This is a standard Cpanel account, the same as all the others I have used in other bots. Has anyone run into this and have any ideas?

Thanks for the guidance, now I have a related question. As noted above, I only have STD version, however I can read the code you provide. Still working with the same pattern, but now I want to provide the regexp as a variable to the $find regular expression function. When I assign a regexp like http://abc\.com/whatever\.php\?.* to a variable and then supply that variable to the $find regular expression function, it does not find the pattern. If I supply the pattern directly to the $find regular expression function, it finds the pattern. I tried setting the variable to http://abc\\

This one has me stumped. I'm downloading emails and parsing each one for a particular URL and then clicking the URL. Can't use Verify Emails because there are other things that need to be done once the URL is clicked. This seemed to be working OK, now suddenly this morning when the bot clicks the URLS I get this message: The requested document was not found on this server. What is odd is that if I copy the URL displayed in the Ubot browser window and paste it into Firefox or another browser, it works fine. Also if I go into the email account and click the link from there it works fin

I did copy your code to Ubot, it did not work. Anyway it works now with my code, so I'm happy.

Thanks for the reply, that did not work but this did: http:\/\/www\.safelists\.com\/lists\.php\?.*

I'm trying to extract a particular URL from an email body. These are text emails, not HTML. I've extracted the email to a table, and assigned column 4 (the body) to a variable. Here's the part of the email I am interested in: I want to extract the URL that follows Grab Your Credits here. The part that comes after /lists.php=? will be different for each email. So i've set a variable up to do a regex on the email body. Here's the regex I have been trying: http:\/\/www\.safelists\.com\/lists\.php.* also tried http:\/\/www\.safelists\.com\/lists\.php.*\s These work when I t

I'm sure I saw a tutorial for this somewhere, but can't find it. I have a page that has ratings bar on it, and I need to be able to click on a specific part of that bar to register my rating, depending upon the parameter I pass to the bot. Much like the image of 4 or 5 stars you might see if on a movie ratings website. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Great minds think alike! I was just thinking about trying that approach.

I'm assigning the output of the document function '$meta description' to a variable. Looks like it only looks for the upper-case version. I tried page scrape but ran into the same issue. Not all pages have the description tag set the same way. Some have the word in lower case. Some have it in upper case. Some have just the D in the word description capitalized. So I guess a triple If statement to handle all 3 situations would do it. Bill P.S. Interesting side note: if you try a UI stat monitor using $meta description and the page currently being displayed does not have a meta des

Don't know if this is is a bug or intended operation. Using Ubot version 4.0.96 Use of $meta description to get the page description returns nothing if the html is formatted like this: <meta name="description" content="..." It works if the HTML looks like this: <meta name="DESCRIPTION" content="..." The only difference being that the word description is in upper case rather than lower case. Has anyone run into this? If so, any workarounds?

Not sure how to attack this one. Here's the situation: I'm creating an ad submission bot for a particular service. The process is to fill in the form. click Submit, wait for the submission to complete, and then do the same thing over again with different ad details. To wait for the submission to complete, I tried Wait Finish but that does not always work since this does not bring up a new page and does not always redisplay the submission page before Wait Finish "thinks" it has completed. Here's what actually happens: The first time I click the submit button, the text "The fol
