I am trying to write an smf forums bot but UBOT isnt reading the variables, I have repaired Ubot, reinstalled and updated and have all the updates for windows, it still wont read different versions of Register (different languages) am I making a mistake or is there a problem with Ubot, Thank you for your attention to this matter. Cheryl.

nor will my ubot scape anything!!!!!!

You completely uninstalled and reinstalled?

Have you tried other simple tasks to see if it will work?

You're probably making a small mistake with the scripting. Just post your script here and we'll look through it

Hi. yes a complete un-install and re-install, this is my second attempt, the 1st time all variables worked and ubot would also scrape the email account from yahoo's success page, alas no more!!
Thank you for taking the time to look into this, Cheryl.

I'm so confused right now. What do you want the bot to do?

The only thing that this one did was navigate to a login site on a forum and then tried to chose by attribute (an attribute that didn't exist)

And theres no scraping part in this script

[CWOODS]

The bot is supposed to navigate to a forum login page, hence the forum list, then it is supposed to choose the "inner text" Register attribute (or any of the variables, to accomodate different languages) then click said attribute, your perception as to the lack of scraping does you credit, this was an added afterthought, refering to another bot, do not worry yourself unduly with the scraping issue as the choosing register attributes is of most concern to me. Please excuse any ignorance of extensive scripting on my behalf, I am merely a woman with aspirations. Cheryl

Well its kinda hard to understand, but I think I know what your trying to do. Right now it doesn't seem like you understand how to use variables. So maybe look into that so more also. I myself have made a vbulletin bot that is completely versatile, so I can kinda understand what it is your trying to do.

What i think your trying to do is choose the attribute by the innertext register, Registro, Registrovat etc. Well first off you don't need to use variables here, you would just insert a string (the word register as a normal text). Now when you choose by attribute the bot will look for the the word register, and if your using click chosen it would be clicked. But in your bot you need to click either one of the "register, Registro, Registrovat etc.", well you will need to use additional commands to make this possible. You would need to first create an If statement and use the qualifier "Search Page", and for your commands inside the "Then" you need to use the "Choose by Attribute", and "Click Chosen".

so If --> Search Page --> Then --> Choose By Attribute --> Click Chosen

I know reading this must have you like wtf. I actually tried to change your source twice and it crashed. So I posted this image. just make sure you do this for each of the register, Registro, Registrovat etc. Good Luck!

Thank you Gogetta, that explains it, thank you for your time. Cheryl
