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

Help with entering URL with date variable

Post by tsbob » Wed Dec 20, 2017 6:14 am

Hi all,

i'm just begin with iMacros (using internet explorer addon) and trying to make a script where the first command is to go to a specific url witch include a time variable like this:

http://www.XXX.com/XXX/Index?startDate="Last Sunday Date"&endDate="Today's Date"

I would like the macros to find and add the last sunday's and today's date in this URL, does somebody have any idea how to do that ?

Thanks

Of course, without FCI, it is hard to advice, but if you use Firefox, I'd pesonally would use javascript .js macro (instead of .iim) that would generate the URL statement to run and use free javascript Moment library to get the dates you are interested in for the statement.
