Loop through extraction using field name versus POS?

Hi,
I am looking for a way to reduce the amount of statements when extracting data. It would be ideal if I could get it down to 2 statements for the lot...since this is a small section of a larger macro I would prefer not to go to .js but handle in .iim files. I only want to extract the data from the fields that match certain field names. I can't figure out how to loop through POS since the extract selection is based on ATTR="field name" not position on web page.

Here is what i have now:

I guess you can loop them on:

Code: Select all

TAG POS={{!LOOP}} TYPE=LABEL ATTR=TXT:*
TAG POS=R1 TYPE=DIV ATTR=CLASS:field-value EXTRACT=TXT

or even more simply, as you use Relative Positioning, directly on:

Code: Select all

TAG POS={{!LOOP}} TYPE=DIV ATTR=CLASS:field-value EXTRACT=TXT

Oh...!, but hum, this will only work with the first 9 Fields with the same Class Attribute, I see that it changes after that..., hum, and with different Types (DIV + TD + SPAN + LABEL), so pfff, won't be easy...! But if your Script works, why do you want to modify it...!?
If you ever notice that one Field is missing or you want to exclude some specific Field, trying to find out which one will be some king of hassle trying to identify if it's POS=12 or =13 or =15 etc...

Only wanted to see if there was a way to handle what seemed on surface as repetitive steps.

Only wanted to see if there was a way to handle what seemed on surface as repetitive steps.

"Repetitive Steps", ah-ah...!, that's exactly what iMacros is for...!, you record once which Fields you want to extract and you never have to do it again..., well, unless you one day want to add or remove any Fields.
And Web-Pages can change, if they added some "Elevator" Field for example, your current Script would still work while if you were looping, that extra Field would shift away all other Extracts that you do and you would need a lot of Debugging to get it to work again..., until the next Change again while your current Script is very easy to follow and to maintain (and to debug) by yourself or anybody you would give the Script to to make a Modification thanks to the Labels and all the nice Comments you included in it...

You didn't post the URL of the Site but I could still understand and follow what your Script was doing/meant to do..., if it had been some kind of

Code: Select all

TAG POS={{!LOOP}} TYPE=* ATTR=TXT:* EXTRACT=TXT

=> I wouldn't even have reacted to your Thread as I wouldn't have had any Idea what your Script was doing exactly without Access to the Site...

What's the saying btw...? "If it ain't broken, don't change it...!", or stg like that...!
