iMacros EOL - Attention!

The renewal maintenance has officially ended for Progress iMacros effective November 20, 2023 and all versions of iMacros are now considered EOL (End-of-Life). The iMacros products will no longer be supported by Progress (aside from customer license issues), and these forums will also no longer be moderated from the Progress side.

Thank you again for your business and support.

Sincerely,
The Progress Team

you could potentially run it like this:

VERSION BUILD=7220523 RECORDER=FX
TAB T=1
URL GOTO=http://abc/xyz/{{!LOOP}}/*.*
TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=ID:WPC-action_moreTools
TAG POS=2 TYPE=A ATTR=ID:WPC-action_deleteThread?threadId={{!LOOP}}&deleteType=pageThread
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT FORM=ID:WPC-deleteThreadForm ATTR=ID:WPC-deleteThreadSubm

but it'll take forever to get where you want it to be, the scripting interface would be your best bet, as that would allow you to continue on error as well.

I'm not sure what Matt meant by this. You can set the start value of your loop in your macro code, then just set the Max. value on the Play tab of the iMacros sidebar to be greater than the start value and use Play (Loop) to loop the macro.

For example, to loop from 4261711 to 426811:

Code: Select all

VERSION BUILD=7220523 RECORDER=FX
TAB T=1
SET !LOOP 4261711
URL GOTO=http://abc/xyz/{{!LOOP}}/*.*
TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=ID:WPC-action_moreTools
TAG POS=2 TYPE=A ATTR=ID:WPC-action_deleteThread?threadId={{!LOOP}}&deleteType=pageThread
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT FORM=ID:WPC-deleteThreadForm ATTR=ID:WPC-deleteThreadSubm
Then set Max. to 426811 and press the Play (Loop) button to play the macro.
