Choosing uploaded file by date

[ardjun]

Hello,
I'm making a script that would allow me to automatize a process on a webpage but i have stumbled upon a problem
where i would like to choose the oldest file in a specified location but i'm unable to do so.
Normal tag for file upload looks something like this:
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:FILE FORM=ID:demo ATTR=NAME:uploaded_file CONTENT="{{!FOLDER_DATASOURCES}}\\Address.csv"

I tried using a wildcard after CONTENT but it's not working.
Is there any solution or workaround for this problem?
Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Apologies for missing information.
I'm using Windows 7 with internet Explorer 11.0.9600.18499 and imacros v11 extension for internet Explorer, version 11.5.499.3066.
Site i'm trying to automatize is inside a corporal domain so you wouldn't have access to it.
Upload obviously isn't working because i need to select different file each time.

Code: Select all

VERSION BUILD=11.5.499.3066
TAB T=1
SET !PLAYBACKDELAY 0.2

Hum..., interesting Case , and yep..., I would have a few Ideas on how to implement your Scenario, but start by using the Forum "correctly" from the beginning, ah-ah...!
=> CIM...! (Read my Sig... (or the Forum Rules...))
Even if I know already that you are not on CR and if on FF not using v9.0.3, but sorry, Users trying to help you shouldn't have to play "little Detective" for that...

Hum, and you have a Typo in your 1-Line Script I see already, ah-ah...!

OK, perfect for FCI...
So you are on Win7, with iMacros for IE v11.5.

One Solution I had in mind was that if you know a bit how your Files are named, it is possible to check if a specific File exists by "misusing" the '!FOLDER_DATASOURCE' Command like explained in this Thread, to then use directly the correct FileName for your Download. But you need to be able to check some Return Code and you would need to be on FF and to use a '.js' Script.

Second Solution would be to go back to the "roots", ah-ah...!, and to use the simple DOS Command: 'dir' to output its Result to a '.TXT' File to reuse as DataSource in your Macro to fetch the Name of your oldest File with for example:

Code: Select all

dir D:\TEMP\My_Project /-C/OD>D:\TEMP\My_Project\DIR_Output.txt

Adapt the Path of course, I "placed" in my Example all your Files in some "D:\TEMP\My_Project\" Directory.
You can either run this Command manually from a DOS Prompt or place it in some mini '.BAT' File that you would run each time just before running your Macro, and the '.BAT' could even call IE and your Macro directly.

From FF with iMacros for FF, it is possible to call a '.BAT' File directly from a Macro by using the 'EVENT' Mode and some FF Add-on called "External Application Buttons" with a Shortcut, you have the 'EVENT' Mode as well now on iMacros for IE v11.5, but I'm not sure if you have some similar Add-on on IE that would allow you to call an '.EXE' or '.BAT' File from a Shortcut directly from within the Browser...

The 'dir' Command will produce a 'DIR_Output.txt' File with some Content like:

Code: Select all

 Volume in drive C is Windows
 Volume Serial Number is 3ED0-977F

 Directory of C:\

(I used the 'C:\' Root here in this Example, but the Content would be similar...)

And if you use this '.txt' File as your DataSource, the oldest File in the Folder will always be located at Row_6 and can be accessed with '{{!COL1}}' and isolated with some 'EVAL()' Statement with 'split()' and/or 'lastIndexOf()' and/or 'substr()'.
'substr()' might be the easiest, I would think, and in "my" case, that would give:

Code: Select all

VERSION BUILD=8820413 RECORDER=FX
TAB T=1

SET !DATASOURCE D:\TEMP\My_Project\DIR_Output.txt
SET !DATASOURCE_LINE 6

SET File_Name EVAL("var s='{{!COL1}}'; var x,y,z; z=s.substr(36); z;")
PROMPT {{!COL1}}<BR>File_Name:<SP>_{{File_Name}}_

Yep, works fine, Result of the 'PROMPT':

Code: Select all

07/11/2007  09:00             17734 eula.1028.txt
File_Name: _eula.1028.txt_

(Teested on iMacros for FF v8.8.2, Pale Moon v26.3.3 (=FF47), Win10-x64.)

I have deliberately removed the Decimal Separators in the File Size (with the '/-C' Switch) because in "my" case, I had different Sizes for my Files from <1Mb + >1Mb + >1Gb and the Comma(s) in the Sizes would force me to use '!COL2' or even '!COL3' sometimes, but you might want to keep them if you know in your case that the Size of your Files is always >1Mb, then you would use '!COL2' instead of '!COL1' in my Script and that would lower the 'substr(36)' in my case to 'substr(4)', or you could use 'split()' on the Space just before the File Name...

Thanks for the extensive reply.
I managed to get the small bat working, which would find the oldest file but i'm unsure how to pass this information to imacros in order to make it upload
this file.
This is what i managed so far but i'm getting an error.
This is the part that should upload the file.

Code: Select all

VERSION BUILD=11.5.499.3066
TAB T=1
SET !PLAYBACKDELAY 0.2
SET !DATASOURCE \\kscmssos01\FSSC\MD_Billing\KIT_ISR\KIT\Jano\DIR_Output.txt
SET !DATASOURCE_LINE 4
SET File_Name EVAL("var s='{{!COL1}}'; var x,y,z; z=s.substr(38); z;")
'PROMPT {{!COL3}}{{File_NAME}}
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:FILE ATTR=NAME:fileToUpload CONTENT="\\kscmssos01\FSSC\MD_Billing\KIT\WAOC\INPUT\JanciJurco\{{!COL2}}{{File_Name}}"
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT ATTR=NAME:btnUpload

Another issue i have is that i'd like to use both the bat file and the imacro script together without having to do it separately each time.
Since FF wouldn't work with this page i have to resort to other possibility.
I could run the bat with AHK but i don't know how to run imacros macro with AHK, or if it's even possible.
If autoit can do that i could use it too.

Yeah, but sorry, this is troubleshooting in the dark for me, I need your exact 'dir' Command in your '.BAT. File as you have 2 different Paths in your '.iim' Macro, mention without me asking if you have Read Access Rights to the Folder where your Upload Files are (only Reason I can think why you would put the 'Output' File somewhere else...)
+ Post the Result of the 'dir' Command/Output, you use Line=4 instead of =6 for me and 'substr(38)' instead of 'substr(36)' for me, OK, on some Network Drive I see, and both Paths do not match but I don't have enough Info ...

Oh, and your '{{!COL2}}' in your File Upload comes completely out of the Blue..., if you used the '/-C' Switch for the 'dir' DOS Command, you don't even have a '!COL2', dunno why you want to use it...?

Hum, about the "other Issue", I am not too familiar with AHK and AutoIt, even if yep I'm trying to dig a bit into AHK..., but hum, I think I already gave you one Solution: Start your Macro directly from your '.BAT' File, first the 'dir' and then the Macro...

Oh...!, and would you mind elaborating on this Statement or yours...!?:
"Since FF wouldn't work with this page i have to resort to other possibility."
=> Tja, hum-hum, why does this Page not work on FF...?
Your Site/Page will be some internal Company Site I reckon, it's nearly always possible to get it to work on FF by fooling your UA (User Agent)...

Hum, I remember some User/Thread a few months ago, maybe 1 year now, about some Chinese Bank, very strange Site that required absolutely using IE and installing some "not-to-trust" Add-on, but I think User didn't react anymore after a while, so I didn't investigate any further and dropped the Case a bit, but I think that was the only time I didn't get complete full Access on some "IE Site" with FF... But the Site was very "weird" and not really to trust... Oh...!, I think I wanted to try to decompile that Add-on, decompiling FF Add-ons is quite fun, you can decompile iMacros for example, that's quite interesting, ah-ah...!, but I never tried on IE...

I don't understan how !COL works but after fiddling a bit with this i found a way to get exactly just the name of the file.

Code: Select all

VERSION BUILD=8820413 RECORDER=FX
TAB T=1

SET !DATASOURCE \\kscmssos01\FSSC\MD_Billing\KIT_ISR\KIT\Jano\DIR_Output.txt
SET !DATASOURCE_LINE 4

SET File_Name EVAL("var s='{{!COL1}}'; var x,y,z; z=s.substr(38); z;")
'PROMPT {{!COL3}}<BR>File_Name:<SP>_{{File_Name}}_
PROMPT {{!COL3}}{{File_NAME}}

The output is just the filename.
If i'm doing it wrong please let me know. I'm just starting with iMacros.
I'm using two different folders because files in one are deleted many times and i wanted to keep it clean for not confusing other people.

Hum, about the "other Issue", I am not too familiar with AHK and AutoIt, even if yep I'm trying to dig a bit into AHK..., but hum, I think I already gave you one Solution: Start your Macro directly from your '.BAT' File, first the 'dir' and then the Macro...

Oh...!, and would you mind elaborating on this Statement or yours...!?:
"Since FF wouldn't work with this page i have to resort to other possibility."
=> Tja, hum-hum, why does this Page not work on FF...?
Your Site/Page will be some internal Company Site I reckon, it's nearly always possible to get it to work on FF by fooling your UA (User Agent)...

Hum, I remember some User/Thread a few months ago, maybe 1 year now, about some Chinese Bank, very strange Site that required absolutely using IE and installing some "not-to-trust" Add-on, but I think User didn't react anymore after a while, so I didn't investigate any further and dropped the Case a bit, but I think that was the only time I didn't get complete full Access on some "IE Site" with FF... But the Site was very "weird" and not really to trust... Oh...!, I think I wanted to try to decompile that Add-on, decompiling FF Add-ons is quite fun, you can decompile iMacros for example, that's quite interesting, ah-ah...!, but I never tried on IE...

That page isn't optimized for firefox and therefore it doesn't show all the fields in a way as it should. It looks ugly and uncomplete.

I will try to make a batch file to run imacro script but my first attempt so far was unsuccesful becuse it opened a new page each time.
I can run the bat with ahk then.

[chivracq]

Yeah, but sorry, this is troubleshooting in the dark for me, I need your exact 'dir' Command in your '.BAT. File as you have 2 different Paths in your '.iim' Macro, mention without me asking if you have Read Access Rights to the Folder where your Upload Files are (only Reason I can think why you would put the 'Output' File somewhere else...)
+ Post the Result of the 'dir' Command/Output, you use Line=4 instead of =6 for me and 'substr(38)' instead of 'substr(36)' for me, OK, on some Network Drive I see, and both Paths do not match but I don't have enough Info ...

Oh, and your '{{!COL2}}' in your File Upload comes completely out of the Blue..., if you used the '/-C' Switch for the 'dir' DOS Command, you don't even have a '!COL2', dunno why you want to use it...?

Code: Select all

dir \\kscmssos01\FSSC\MD_Billing\KIT\WAOC\INPUT\JanciJurco /-C/OD>\\kscmssos01\FSSC\MD_Billing\KIT_ISR\KIT\Jano\DIR_Output.txt

My dir output is:

Code: Select all

 Volume in drive \\kscmssos01\FSSC is DATA
 Volume Serial Number is 6CD9-FD06

 Directory of \\kscmssos01\FSSC\MD_Billing\KIT\WAOC\INPUT\JanciJurco

Hum, about the "other Issue", I am not too familiar with AHK and AutoIt, even if yep I'm trying to dig a bit into AHK..., but hum, I think I already gave you one Solution: Start your Macro directly from your '.BAT' File, first the 'dir' and then the Macro...

Oh...!, and would you mind elaborating on this Statement or yours...!?:
"Since FF wouldn't work with this page i have to resort to other possibility."
=> Tja, hum-hum, why does this Page not work on FF...?
Your Site/Page will be some internal Company Site I reckon, it's nearly always possible to get it to work on FF by fooling your UA (User Agent)...

Hum, I remember some User/Thread a few months ago, maybe 1 year now, about some Chinese Bank, very strange Site that required absolutely using IE and installing some "not-to-trust" Add-on, but I think User didn't react anymore after a while, so I didn't investigate any further and dropped the Case a bit, but I think that was the only time I didn't get complete full Access on some "IE Site" with FF... But the Site was very "weird" and not really to trust... Oh...!, I think I wanted to try to decompile that Add-on, decompiling FF Add-ons is quite fun, you can decompile iMacros for example, that's quite interesting, ah-ah...!, but I never tried on IE...

That page isn't optimized for firefox and therefore it doesn't show all the fields in a way as it should. It looks ugly and uncomplete.

I will try to make a batch file to run imacro script but my first attempt so far was unsuccesful becuse it opened a new page each time.
I can run the bat with ahk then.

OK, perfect Reply, Compliments...!, but I need to do a little bit of "Thinking"... (about where to start from...)...

OK, here we go...! (I'll do a bit of clean-up, don't worry...)
I'll start with your 2nd Quote, easy to answer...:

Well, don't worry about "ugly" and "incomplete" (spelt correctly, ah-ah...!), it's usually better actually (for iMacros), the HTML is "Cleaner"...

But about your Batch File, post what you tried, you have many Examples on the Forum, I will spot directly what you are doing wrong I think, even if I'm more of a FF "Specialist" but I participated in most if not all Threads pertaining to starting iMacros from a Batch File in the last 3 years, so I guess I have the "Expertise" (and I use it myself extensively, oops...!), or I will be able to locate some relevant Thread(s) with more/correct Info..

OH, but grrrr...!, sorry, I have to go now, no time now for part_1, sorry, I'm a DJ, I'm already late for a Gig oops, bump your Thread again otherwise I might forget about it...

+ I'll do the "cleaning" later...
