How to use Virtual Lists
Written by: webDOMinator 3 years and 2 months ago
To create a simple virtual list to gather information to, you can use the list command along with a gather command using the list handle:

Information Lists
Usage: list:handle[:optionsfile;gatherfile]
Description: Creates a new virtual list. Virtual lists do not have limits and are accessed through their handles. When webDOM gathers, it can be set to gather any usable virtual list.:myemails:sys.listdir^gatheremails.pop
gatherQuick Reference for "gather"

Program Level Commands
Usage: gather
Description: Gathers all possible items to all used lists. This command will gather from one page only To gather multiple pages, use autogather.:myemails
This creates not only a list in virtual memory where information would be gathered to, but in the "lists" folder of whichever plugin that is loaded, (or in the main "lists" folder located in the root webDOM directory,) a ".list" file is saved with the same name as the specified handle, in this case "myemails". The file placement is default when the "gatherfile" argument to the list command is omitted.
A simpler approach can be used in coding as well. Let's say that a plugin is already loaded, this means that most likely, the gathering options would already be set. If the "optionsfile" argument on the list command is omitted as well, the list's gather options are set to the currently loaded gather options, so for instance, you can leave out the ".pop" file if you just want to use the default plugin gather options.

Program Level Commands
Usage: gather
Description: Gathers all possible items to all used lists. This command will gather from one page only To gather multiple pages, use autogather.:regular-expression
Description: Matches any regular-expression that is on the currently loaded web page in the browser and adds it to the information list. This function will check for duplicates within the list as it gathers.:friendemails:\b[A-Z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}\b
This uses the regexgather command which matches a regular expression pattern and puts all the matches in the list. In this example, that's the pattern for emails, taken from @
driven's profile. What these two scripts do is, the first one, logs in to facebook and loads up the main info list
