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 reason it didn’t work on other pages was because the source wasn’t there. That’s why I want it to timeout and then once it finds the regex it runs the script, that is why my timeout is so high, so it’s as if it’s monitoring the page until it’s found. Apologies for making another thread, just thought it was a different issue as this one was solved :wink: I really do appreciate your help, it really means a lot to me as I have no other help. I’m really struggling with this, I’ve been looking everywhere to find a way to timeout the search command, but can’t find anything. I would really appreciate if you could come back to this thread when you’re free.

Apart from that...Good luck with your gig!! :P

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, well, the "other Thread" is OK, I would probably have asked you to open a separate Thread myself if that Timeout Issue could not be solved "easily" with a quick Remark/Sugg...

But post this last Info in your new Thread (where it now belongs), I won't be "juggling" between 2 Threads to find Bits of Info from 2 different Threads...
- (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...
