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.

Batch file: read data from input file

Post by Hannes, Tech Support » Thu Dec 13, 2007 11:38 am

The following batch file reads an input file line by line and uses the file's data in an imacros command line invocation

Code: Select all

@echo off
for /f %%A in (input.txt) DO (
        imacros.exe -macro "#Current" -loop %%A
)

could this input file contain urls, one per line?

is there a sample where it opens the url in Firefox,
clicks the mouse several times, then closes the webpage.

repeat on next url?

thanks.

You could indeed use the batch file for this kind of task, but it's more easy, if you run your macro in loop mode, cf. the Demo-Loop-CSV-2-Web demo macro that ships with iMacros
