xgrab.txt important question

randomusername

Few questions:

Where place the xgrab.txt ?
How to handle regular expressions, like [---] to match anything [...] to grab.

example:
<title class="[---]">[...]</title>

I want the [---] to match anything but be ignored.

Sven

As this is build the same way as in XR (as far as I can see), it is not allowing any regular expression.

Where place the xgrab.txt ?

What the heck is xgrab.txt?

Sven

That file must be placed in the folder where the program is installed to.

It would be hard to implement a thing like that <title class="[---]">[...]</title>

With regular expression?

Sven

not really, done that before...but I would need a scenario to debug this with...feel free to provide something.

randomusername

Ok let me know what do you need and i will provide everything.

Sven

sample xgrap, sample URL where this should work on and the result you expect.

randomusername

URL: http://wordcut.blogspot.com/2013/10/116-do-you-know-this-beast-too.html xgrab: <cite class='user'><a rel='nofollow' href='[---]'>[...]</a></cite> html-code: <cite class='user'><a rel='nofollow' href='http://thepigmentsoflife.wordpress.com/'>theinnerzone</a></cite>

result: theinnerzone P.S And if that's not a trouble for you - an option, like xrumer, to get them all, not just the first found. To include them in message, we can use a macro like: #grabbed,5,[S]  - Where [5] is number of grabbed items that we want to include.
Or just simple #grabbedALL[S] to include them all.
So by checking "paring of all concidences on each mask" on the sample url, and using the #grabbed,5,[S] macro, we will see in the message:

theinnerzone, Atreyee, Jo-Anne Teal, Valerie Boersma, Trifecta, OKinUK

Sven

Does XR work the same way or is that syntax your invention?

In the AntiSpam/xnickmask.ini you can find:

[phpBB]

<div class="post-author">[...]</div>

#grabbed,5,[S] does not exist
in Autograbbing [---] is not working.

Sven

next version has all of this added except that the syntax is #grabbed[<separator>,max] or #grabbedAll[<separator>,<max>]

randomusername

I love you Sven, you are awesome. Please let me know if there is anything i can do for you!

Edit: I forget to ask, the grabbed text must be stored somewhere. Can we get access to it in .txt file?

Sven

Well that file is not included in the default installation. Guess I should do that. It's called xgrab.txt and should be located in the application data folder (where projects folder is).

Sven

By the way, as I don't own XR, are they just having one file with the xgrab.txt as well or how does it work there?

randomusername

In Xrumer > the xgrab.txt containing rules to grab (in our case): 
<cite class='user'><a rel='nofollow' href='[---]'>[...]</a></cite> Is stored in main xrumer folder. (xgrab.txt) Everything that is grabbed by these rules (in our case - nickname's) is stored in the /Logs/%Project_Name%/%LinkList_Name%/xgrabbed.txt Do you remember when i was asking about global account data list? They are stored really easy: /Logs/Registered Accounts.txt <= Here are stored ALL registered accounts, from all projects. /Logs/%Project_Name%/%LinkList_Name%/Registered Accounts.txt <= Here are 

stored registered accounts just from specified Project and specified LinkList.

So basically when xrumer is receiving a message "Registration Successful" he is storing the %Domain% U:%username% P:%password% that was used on that website. So next time we are not wasting resources on breaking captchas, we are using the registered accounts.
About the [Z]linklist: http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fxrumerwiki.com%2Fru%3Azlinkslist&act=url
To save time looking for "Register" or "Posting" link on that website, xrumer is creating [Z]linklist. So when we are running RAW list of Phpbb forums in [Registering only], xrumer is creating [Z]list, storing direct links to registration: So next time when we want to register accounts, we are saving tons of time. When we are posting, using method "Posting on behalf of a previously registered user" xrumer is saving links to post: In that case, vanilla forums: There is also other method of saving the linklist, with [GET] and [POST]. But i know its not worth it.

Sven

Thanks for this information. I will defiantly work on this as soon as Im back in office.

randomusername

Let me know if you want the whole xrumer folder with all the files and some chat-help. I have loads of knowledge about xrumer logic.
