how refresh page and restart script without check next line?

Post by ibamibrhm » Wed May 02, 2018 6:01 am

hi,
maybe something like this:

Code: Select all

if (Error) {
	refresh page and restart script without check next line;
} else {
	continue script;
}
I using !ERRORIGNORE but after error found imacros keep continuing until last line, it take a long time.

is it possible to refresh page and restart script without check next line?

(F)CIM...! :mrgreen: (Read my Sig...)

But, yep..., you give the Answer yourself..., you need to split your Script into 2 parts indeed where you will loop the first part based on the Return Code with a 'while' Loop for example, for the second part to be executed only once the first part has been "successful"...

It's possible to do in pure '.iim' by looping your whole Script (well, you only have one anyway, ah-ah...!) and checking with some 'EXTRACT' where your Error can occur and making then the '!TIMEOUT_STEP' conditionally to "0" for example if you don't already have it set to "0" before, and if you have any Clicks on Links or Buttons you can toggle all "POS=1" to "POS=0" conditionally, same with 'URL GOTO' to an empty String or maybe combined with '!TIMEOUT_PAGE' set to "1" which is the lowest Value you can use, but you will have to "wait" 1 sec for each of those Lines...
Some "Technique" I use myself as well in one of my ('.iim') Scripts, is to "send" your Script conditionally to some "fake" second Tab where all the Buttons and Links won't exist and therefore won't do anything...
- (F)CI(M) = (Full) Config Info (Missing): iMacros + Browser + OS (+ all 3 Versions + 'Free'/'PE'/'Trial').
- FCI not mentioned: I don't even read the Qt...! (or only to catch Spam!)
- Script & URL help a lot for more "educated" Help...

Quoting myself, ah-ah...! :twisted:

Just wanted to add that that "Trick" won't work for 'URL GOTO' Statements, you still need to set them conditionally to an empty String (with 'EVAL()') but it might become a little bit "cumbersome" if you have many of those in the 2nd part of your Script, and that wouldn't work if you use the 'REFRESH' Command. A 'REFRESH' will always be executed (in '.iim'), it cannot be made conditional, you need to use the 'URL GOTO' on the URL itself but that's not always possible on all Sites...
And a 'REFRESH' will always take at least 1 sec (if you've set '!TIMEOUT_PAGE' to the lowest "1" Value), but using this "fake" 2nd Tab Trick could actually become a "usable" Workaround for getting a Conditional 'REFRESH' by actually opening that 2nd Tab on some Local mini-'.TXT' File. A 'REFRESH' on some Local mini-'.TXT' File will only take a few milliseconds, which is much faster than (re)loading any "real" Web-Page from any Site...
