iMacros: how to extract once every few loops - imacros

my script extract once every 60 loops, 1,60,120,180 .. etc
TAG POS=1, so I use made this with EVAL.
but my problem is that {{Datastart}} is empty when no value to extract
My question is how to make {{Datastart}} EVAL to work like {{1datastart}} ?
I mean to remain the first extract value from loop1 during the next 59 loop and to extract the value again at loop 61.
SET !ERRORIGNORE YES
SET 1datastart EVAL("var n='{{!LOOP}}'; var z; if((n%60)==1){z=\"1\";} else{z=0;}; z;")
TAG POS={{1datastart}} TYPE=DIV ATTR=CLASS:"*cell-body tablecell-date sortable column-sorted*"&&TXT:*,* EXTRACT=TXT
SET datastart EVAL("'{{!EXTRACT}}'.replace(/(Scheduled|Published)/g, '').trim();")
Prompt {{datastart}}
I am using (FCI): iMacros for CR v10.1.1 'PE', CR v105.0.5195.102 (_x64), Win10_x64. ('CR' = 'Chrome' / 'PE' = 'Personal Edition')

iMacros - How to Extract the first 100 Characters from a `TAG CONTENT`?

I am using this code in iMacros to extract only the first 100 characters from TAG CONTENT and it's working in 80% of the cases, but sometimes iMacros displays an error message:
"TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'join'), line: 27"
(Line 27 in iMacros Code is where the code is executed.)
=> My question:
Is there another way to do this, another Regex code, or did I do something wrong with the script below?
TAG POS=1 TYPE=DIV ATTR=ID:title EXTRACT=TXT
SET titlu100 EVAL("var x=\"{{!EXTRACT}}\"; x=x.match(/^.{100}/).join(''); x;")
I am using (FCI):
iMacros for CR v10.1.1 'PE', CR v105.0.5195.102 (_x64), Win10_x64.
('CR' = 'Chrome' / 'PE' = 'Personal Edition')
Meanwhile I found another way to extract first 100 characters
SET titlu100 EVAL("\"{{!EXTRACT}}\".substr(0,100);")

Trying If else condition in EVAL in imacros gives error

This is the link from where I m extracting data
TAG POS=1 TYPE=DIV ATTR=CLASS:sLB&&TXT:* EXTRACT=TXT
SET pqr {{!EXTRACT}}
SET !EXTRACT NULL
TAG POS=R1 TYPE=INPUT ATTR=TYPE:HIDDEN&&TXT:* EXTRACT=TXT
SET abc {{!EXTRACT}}
SET !EXTRACT NULL
TAG POS=R1 TYPE=INPUT ATTR=TYPE:HIDDEN&&TXT:* EXTRACT=TXT
SET def {{!EXTRACT}}
SET !EXTRACT NULL
PROMPT "{{abc}} BHK {{def}}"
SET VAR7 EVAL("if (\"{{!abc}}\" == ' ') PROMPT "{{abc}} {{def}}"; else \"PROMPT "{{abc}} BHK {{def}}\";")
PROMPT {{VAR7}}
Here I'm checking the condition if the value of the variable abc is null or blank, then print data of two variable i.e abc and def else print data of abc and def concatenated with BHK in between the both.
But this gives me error
MacroSyntaxError: wrong format of SET command, line 71 (Error code: -910)
Any suggestion where I'm going wrong.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
Let me see if I understand your question...
If variable abc is null or blank,
then return abc and def (why bother returning abc if it's blank/null?)
else return abc + "BHK" + def
Since I don't really understand exactly what you're extracting even though you provided a link, I created a test case below with the answer:
'Set test values
SET abc "100"
SET def "Apartment"
'Evaluation below, will abc = ' '?
SET VAR7 EVAL("('{{abc}}'==' ')?\"{{abc}} {{def}}\" : \"{{abc}} BHK {{def}}\";")
'return results of evaluation
PROMPT {{VAR7}}
'test abc with blank value
SET abc " "
SET VAR7 EVAL("('{{abc}}'==' ')?\"{{abc}} {{def}}\" : \"{{abc}} BHK {{def}}\";")
'return results of evaluation
PROMPT {{VAR7}}
Remember, you can't use Javascript to control flow/logic for Imacros. It looked like you were trying to create Imacro commands via javascript. If this answer helped, please mark as such. Thanks!

imacros take from multi files in DATASOURCE loop

I have imacros firefox Add-ons that takes data from one csv file. But i need to tell imacros to take data from multi files as loop
here my script is take from 1.csv
but I've 2.csv & 3.csv & 4.csv and more.. i need it to take from them as loop like if i run play imacros will take data from 1.csv once they finish start again but from 2.csv ..etc like that.. with the same rule for all.. also the files all are the same columns same data but cannot merge them as one file.csv
SET !DATASOURCE /Users/almishal/Desktop/imacros/new/1.csv

You can get the most elegant solution with the help of the JavaScript Scripting Interface. But here I suggest a one using only ‘iim’s. So, create e.g. ‘macro1.iim’ for ‘1.csv’, ‘macro2.iim’ for ‘2.csv’ etc. The code of the ‘macro1.iim’ will be as follows:
' number of lines in csv-files
SET linesInFile 1
SET !LOOP EVAL(2-{{linesInFile}})
SET !DATASOURCE /Users/almishal/Desktop/imacros/new/1.csv
SET !DATASOURCE_LINE EVAL({{!LOOP}}+{{linesInFile}}-1)
TAB CLOSEALLOTHERS
' ... (your code here)
' next macro to play
SET next "macro2"
SET S EVAL("('{{!LOOP}}' == 1) ? 'imacros://run/?m={{next}}.iim' : 'javascript:undefined;';")
URL GOTO={{S}}
I believe that you’ve caught the idea and will make necessary corrections to ‘macro2.iim’ etc. (There won’t be a ‘next macro to play’ block in the last macro.) In order to play this chain you should run only ‘macro1.iim’ in usual (NOT loop) mode. Also note that I supposed that all macros are in the root of the default ‘iMacros’ folder for them.

how to edit the string form csv in macro script

I have csv file, which is called containg list of urls and looks like this :
My script will take the screenshots for all these urls.
My code looks like this:
VERSION BUILD=8871104 RECORDER=FX
TAB T=1
TAB CLOSEALLOTHERS
SET !ERRORIGNORE YES
SET !TIMEOUT_PAGE 120
SET !DATASOURCE W:\url-list-with-change-in-page-size.csv
SET !DATASOURCE_COLUMNS 1
SET !DATASOURCE_LINE {{!LOOP}}
URL GOTO={{!COL1}}
WAIT SECONDS=2
SET VAR1 {{!COL1}}
SET VAR2 EVAL("var s=\"{{VAR1}}\"; s.replace("http://",""); ")
SCREENSHOT TYPE=Page FOLDER=C:\Users\iMacros\Downloads FILE={{VAR2}}
This gives me an error wrong format of SET command, line 13 (Error code: 910)
So basically,
I have
{{COL1}} = http://www.webcentral.com.au/marketing/search-engine-optimisation
and i want
{{$VAR1}} = www.webcentral.com.au_marketing_search-engine-optimisation
With the help of EVAL() i want to first remove http:// and then replace / with _.
Any suggestions please.
Thanks
SET VAR2 EVAL("'{{VAR1}}'.replace('http://','').replace(/\\//g,'_');")
There are two ways to do this. Easiest would be to add one more column in your CSV with the name you want for that url. That way you dont have you manipulate the data. If you must use EVAL, you need to escape certain characters.
This works for me:
SET !VAR1 "http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28024675/how-to-edit-the-
string-form-csv-in-macro-script/28063429#28063429"
PROMPT {{!VAR1}}
SET !VAR2 EVAL("var x=\"{{!var1}}\"; var y=x.replace(\"http://\",\"\"); y;")
PROMPT {{!VAR2}}

Make {{!LOOP}} increase by 10 in iMacros

I have problems with making !LOOP jump +10 each time instead of +1.
Here is my code:
VERSION BUILD=8810214 RECORDER=FX
TAB T=1
SET !ERRORIGNORE YES
SET !VAR1 100
SET !LOOP {{!VAR1}}
URL GOTO=http://www.example.com/lui/?page={{!LOOP}}
WAIT SECONDS=1
ADD !VAR1 10
Running this still makes iMacros jump +1 each loop.
Above sample goes to page=100,page=101,page=102,page=103 instead of page=100,page=110,page=120
Best regards,
Lui Kang
The variable {{!LOOP}} represents the current loop number when a script is running in loop mode.
You can still get 100,110,120... via a javascript expression: init+step*loop.
Try the EVAL command:
SET !LOOP 0
SET INIT 100
SET STEP 10
SET VALUE EVAL("{{INIT}}+{{STEP}}*{{!LOOP}}")
URL GOTO=http://www.example.com/lui/?page={{VALUE}}
var macro;
macro ="CODE:";
macro +="SET !ERRORIGNORE YES"+"\n";
macro +="URL GOTO=http://www.example.com/lui/?page={{number}}"+"\n";
macro +="WAIT SECONDS=1"+"\n";
//declare the number
var number=10;
//loop
for(var i=0;i<100;i++)
{
//set the number to macro
iimSet("number",number)
iimPlay(macro)
//increase by 10
number =number+10;
}
I prefer the JavaScript solution(s). Place this into .js file (and only .js file) and play it in iMacros. It will work.
I need to make macros for a site , which has variable wait time , so how can i get the wait time from the page and add it to the script as a variable
the value of VAR2 is shown on the page URL , I need to assign that value to VAR2
WAIT SECONDS={{!VAR2}}
Here is the HTML Code Of the Page :
<font color="maroon" size="2"><b>Timer</b>: <span id="count1820380num">50</span>/133</font>
The Value 133 should me made as waiting time !
