How to input random username in iMacros? - imacros

Question

How can I input random username using iMacros? I wanna create a simple sign up bot that will use random username every time. Any suggestion please.

Answer 1

I use 2 methods for this:
1) Purely random strings for one time use only.
Use this line to generate a string where in this case i<6 means the length of the output string and * 25 means the length of the array of letters to choose from
SET !VAR1 EVAL("var letters = ['a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h','i','j','k','l','m','n','o','p','q','r','s','t','u','w','x','y','z']; var string = ''; for(var i = 0; i < 6; i++){string += letters[parseInt(Math.random() * 25)]}; string")
to use the string add {{!VAR1}} where you need the username like so:
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT FORM=ID:createaccount ATTR=ID:FirstName CONTENT={{!VAR1}}
2) Use pre-generated strings from a text file (Can be generated manually or by a 'random name generator' online), this allows you to save credentials for future use.
Generate a file.csv where each line holds comma seperated info for one user. Info is accessed as {{!COL1}} for first item, 2 for second item etc'
SET !DATASOURCE C:\Temp\stackoverflow.csv
'where to start in the csv file
SET !LOOP 1337
SET !DATASOURCE_LINE {{!LOOP}}
EVENTS TYPE=KEYPRESS SELECTOR="#new_post>DIV>P>DIV>DIV" CHARS={{!COL1}}
EVENTS TYPE=KEYPRESS SELECTOR="#new_post>DIV>P>DIV>DIV" CHARS={{!COL2}}
stackoverflow.csv file example:
pika,chuu,easypassword123
wobbu,ffet,mypassword
chari,zard,123456
I hope this helped, this is also my first comment ever.
