Hello,

There are two ways to solve this issue:

1. You can create 2 macro: one with the static part and another one that should be repeated. In order to repeat you macros the desired amount of times, use the "Play (Loop)" button. You can also make use of the !LOOP variable, here is more information about that: http://wiki.imacros.net/LOOP
2. You can create a VBScript or a JavaScript that does the work. You can find more information and a VBScript example of this here: http://wiki.imacros.net/Loop_after_Query_or_Login. Note however, that you can only use Javascript with our Firefox plugin.

Hope that this helps. Should you need further assistance, please let don't hesitate to ask. A sample of your code would help us to come up with a more specific solution.

Yes, please:

Code: Select all

var macro, iret;

function FirstMacro()
{
	macro = "CODE:";
	macro += "VERSION BUILD=6311226 RECORDER=FX\n";
	macro += "URL GOTO=http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp&q=iMacros&aq=f&aqi=g10&oq=&fp=822b7b8219bb38af\n";
	iret = iimPlay(macro)
}

function SecondMacro()
{
	macro = "CODE:";
	macro += "VERSION BUILD=6311226 RECORDER=FX\n";
	macro = macro + "TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=TXT:*Next\n"
	iret = iimPlay(macro)
}

FirstMacro();

for(i=0; i<50; i++)
{
	SecondMacro();
}
The firsy part execute ones and the second 50 times in a loop.
