Below is a brief description of each function in UBot Studio.

Standard Commands


Qualifiers

true
returns true.

false
returns false.

both
This qualifer will return true only when all of it\'s subnodes return true. For programmers, think of this as \"and\"

either
This qualifer will return true if any of it\'s subnodes return true.

evaluate
evaluate is the most common of all the qualifiers. The evaluate qualifier allows you to compare any two values, which will return true if they match (or don’t match when using not).

not
This will return true when its subnodes do not return true.

search page
This is a qualifier that will return true if the specified text is present on the page.

Contains
This is a qualifier that will return true if the container text or list contains the specified search text.



Action Commands


Write To Browser
Whatever is written in this command will be displayed within the browser.

navigate
The nav command simply visits whatever URL you choose. The only parameters are the url and Yes and No, which correspond to whether or not the script should wait until the site finishes loading before moving onto the next command. This is set to Yes default and will be chosen most of the time.

click dialog button
The click dialog button command allows for the pressing of any (usually javascript) dialog button that appears on the screen. Sometimes these will be in the form of warnings or alerts (ie - \"You are now navigating away from Nationalcitybank.com. Please press OK to continue.\"), and other times they will be to tell you that something has been done incorrectly-Perhaps you’ve forgotten to fill in a form field on an account creation page. The command requires only one parameter - the text of the button that requires clicking. (This is not the window text, but the text of the button itself, usually something like \"OK\".) Please note that dialog boxes can halt the flow of the script, and the command that raises the dialog should be done inside a thread command.

set dialog text
This will type text into a dialog window into a field with a specified label. Please note that dialog boxes can halt the flow of the script, and the command that raises the dialog should be done inside a thread command.

close all dialogs
This command will set UBot Studio to close every dialog that opens. Be careful, as it can close UBot\'s dialogs as well.

clear cookies
This command will clear the domain cookies of a given website.

change proxy
This command lets you flip proxies. You can do this using a list from a file, or with a variable, or with specified proxies. You could, for example, search a page that contains proxies, test them, and implement them all in a single script.

send email
The send email command allows UBot scripts to connect to smtp email accounts and create and send emails. These emails could contain information relevant to the script that’s being run - for instance, you could email someone a list of scraped page information. Or you could scrape email addresses and email the client yourself!

build account
This works similarly to create account, but allows you to specify some of the values.

create account
The create account function builds all of the information necessary to create most accounts on most web pages. These values will be stored in the account constants, such as $first name, $last name, and so on.

run javascript
Runs JavaScript code.

save browser image
Saves the image of the browser.

shell
Runs an executable.

set proxy credentials
Sets credentials for the proxy which is set by \"change proxy\".



Flow Commands


pause script
This will pause the script, as though you hit the pause button. This should generally be used for debugging.

stop script
This will stop the script, as though you hit the stop button.

delay
Suspends the script for the specified number of seconds.

wait finish
Suspends the script until the webpage finishes loading. Useful after clicking a button or a link.

include
This command will allow you to use subs and scripts from other bots via the \"from included bot\" command. You can also call .ubot files from a provided url to reduce the size of a bot. Do not forget the http:// in your url.

return
Exit current sub or script and return specified data.

loop
The loop command allows anything contained within it to repeat a given number of times.

thread
This command will run it\'s contents in a seperate thread from the main script. This means that everything that happens in this command will happen independantly and simultaneously from the normal flow of the script.

if
The \"if-then-else\" command sequence is a fairly common way to determine the flow of events in scripting. In UBot it works very simply. A qualifier follows the \"if\" command, and the action specified follows the \"then\" command. If the qualifier returns true, then the commands will run. If and only if the qualifier is false, the contents of \"else\" will run.

while
This command will run all contained commands for as long as its qualifier remains true.

run script
With this command, you can run a script as though it were a sub

run sub
Once a sub has been created, it will not run until you tell it to with this command.

sub
A sub is like a self contained script within a script. It helps to create cleaner and more maintainable code. When you have a sub in your script, it will not run until you call it using the run sub command.

in sub window
Runs all contained commands inside a separate web browser in a separate window.



Chosen Commands


click chosen
This command will click a link or a button. you can also toggle check boxes with it.

change chosen attribute
After choosing an element, change chosen attribute lets you change a value within that element. This is useful for, among other things, filling in form fields, setting checkboxes to a given value, setting drop down fields, and selecting radio buttons.

select random child chosen
Select random child chosen is extremely useful for drop-down boxes. Choosing this command after choosing a drop-down list by attribute randomly chooses any value within the drop-down box. So, for example, if you want to create an account and don’t care which state will be selected, choose the state drop-down box by an attribute and use this command to choose any state within the value.

send keys file chosen
This command is used specifically for filling text into file input fields, as a means of getting around the lack of direct access to them. This command will not steal focus, and runs entirely in the background. To simulate typing on elements other than file fields, use send keys chosen field. This command no longer works if you have internet explorer 8 installed.

send keys field chosen
This command will simulate keystrokes to input fields other than file fields. This is useful in cases where the field reacts to keystrokes with javascript, and change chosen attribute does not trigger the javascript associated with the element.

change file field chosen
This will set the file in a file field.

save chosen image
Saves the image of an element.

focus chosen
This brings the chosen element into focus. Useful to use with input commands.

add to list
Add to list allows you to work with multiple strings or variables at one time, which is essential for page scraping or loading information from text files. Choosing add to list with a sub parameter of \"$list from file\" will allow you to pull a text file into a UBot list (all lists are indicated by a % sign), which can then be modified or read on a line by line basis with a variety of commands.

add to local list
This will add items to a list that is only available to the current sub or script.

set list position
This sets the position of a list, which is used by $next list item

$list from file
Combine this constant with add to list to pull information from a file into a list. Items are separated at new lines.

$list from text
This constant breaks a string of text into a list by delimiting the values based on a delimiter of your choosing.

$spin
This constant will return a random selecting of parts of text in spin format. An example of spin format might be: {my|our} {cat|dog|rabbit} went to {the store|the bicycle shop|cuba for some reason}. Spin format is recursive, so you can nest brackets.
