Not Returning #EANF#

Post by okcgrabber » Sun Apr 07, 2013 11:16 pm

So I wrote a simple web grab that was working perfectly until I upgraded. Now iMacros isn't returning " #EANF# " when it doesn't find the extraction point which is completely screwing up my cvs file which in turn screws up the another parts of my process. Anyone else having this issue? Any solutions? Do I need to downgrade?

BTW, I'm using the "TAG" command so it should in fact return a " #EANF#." Also I speak of the FF extension.

Downgraded and problem solved.

Nevertheless iOpus, you should look into that.

Hi okcgrabber,

Can you provide us with a specific example of it not working? I just tried the following macro using iMacros for Firefox 8.3.0 and it correctly returns #EANF#.

Code: Select all

VERSION BUILD=8300326 RECORDER=FX
TAB T=1
URL GOTO=http://demo.imacros.net/Automate/TestForm1
TAG POS=1 TYPE=H2 ATTR=TXT:test EXTRACT=TXT
SAVEAS TYPE=EXTRACT FOLDER=* FILE=*
Regards,

Tom, iMacros Support

Hi Tom,

I am having the same problem also since I downloaded the new version today. Bummer :(

I believe the #EANF# isn't working for the "EXTRACT=HREF", but not positive. Hopefully that helps solve the problem.

How can I downgrade in the meantime? My macros was also working fine before.

Ok Tom, I pinpointed the problem

The extract command doesn't report the #EANF# when used with the SET !ERRORIGNORE YES.

So we can't really collect this missing data in a loop. I hope that helps.

Hi ericwoo,

Setting SET !ERRORIGNORE YES was the vital piece of information, and I have confirmed the problem in 8.3.0.

Thank you both for taking the time to report this here and bringing it to our attention! I have logged this issue for further investigation by our development team.
