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.

Sincerely,
The Progress Team

Extract data using a list of product Ids

Post by marcKatz » Wed Oct 11, 2017 1:34 am

Hi -
I have a list of 1000 product names in an excel file. I wanted to input these one by one and extract the price from https://Hobbyelp.com.
The task is to read the product name from excel cell, enter it in the search box of Hobbyelp.com and extract resulting price data and store it in another cell of the excel file and do this continuously until all names have been searched.

thanks for helping out.

Yep, typical Use for iMacros..., for "Data Extraction" indeed, like you've already found out I reckon, otherwise you wouldn't have found this Sub-Forum about "Data Extraction"... :D
- (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...
