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.

CIM..! :mrgreen: (Always mention your FCI when you open a Thread (or post for the first time in some existing Thread), read my Sig, many Commands are not implemented for all Browsers/Versions...)

This one should work:

Code: Select all

SET !VAR1 EVAL("var s=\"{{!EXTRACT}}\"; s;")
PROMPT {{!VAR1}}
But that's a bit of a cumbersome Use of 'EVAL()' if you simply want to store the Content of '!EXTRACT' in '!VAR1' without doing any Data Manipulation on it, much easier is to use:

Code: Select all

SET !VAR1 {{!EXTRACT}}
PROMPT {{!VAR1}}
And from a look at your Site, the Balance Field you want to extract is not of "TYPE=SELECT" but of "TYPE=SPAN"... But maybe you get a different HTML Content once you are logged in with some Account...
- (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...
