iMacros: "FILEDELETE NAME=file_name" does'n work

Post by tusiromania » Fri Sep 16, 2022 7:09 pm

I'm trying to make an iMacros script that saves the last loop, in case iMacros gives an error. All god, but FILEDELETE NAME=file_name does'n work for me. I tried different ways, I end up changing the original folders, but still not working.

I have this error:

Code: Select all

SyntaxError: unknown command: FILEDELETE at line 11

Code: Select all

SET !FOLDER_DOWNLOAD D:\IMACROS\DOWNLOADS
SET !FOLDER_DATASOURCE D:\IMACROS\DOWNLOADS
SET !DATASOURCE RELEASE769.csv
SET !DATASOURCE_LINE 1
SET !LOOP {{!COL1}}
SET LASTLOOP EVAL("{{!COL1}}+1")

 
 
'FILEDELETE NAME=RELEASE769.csv
FILEDELETE NAME=D:\IMACROS\DOWNLOADS\RELEASE769.csv

WAIT SECONDS=1
ADD !EXTRACT {{LASTLOOP}}
ADD !EXTRACT {{!NOW:yyyy-mm-dd<SP>La<SP>ora:<SP>hh<SP>si<SP>nnmin}}

'SAVEAS TYPE=EXTRACT FOLDER=* FILE=RELEASE769
SAVEAS TYPE=EXTRACT FOLDER=D:\IMACROS\DOWNLOADS FILE=RELEASE769

am using (FCI): iMacros for CR v10.1.1 'PE', CR v105.0.5195.102 (_x64), Win10_x64. ('CR' = 'Chrome' / 'PE' = 'Personal Edition')

Thank you so much for support

There is no other command
If you use API
then you can delete the file depending upon what you use

if website opens in older browser then use
Firefox56 / Palemoon 28.1
iMacros 8.9.7

No

Get Enterprise trial and use VBS / VBA

or if you know any way to execute bat file from html then you can try
"run bat file from browser" Search in google and see if there is any solution
