Hi there again @chivracq, and a thousand thanks for your detailed comment and for trying to help.
Let's start with SOF issue. you're right. I should use the tools you suggested here also there, and I'm sorry about the syntax.
You need to understand we're trying to solve a big problem in our work process and time is against us - so I tried to find a solution before we dump it and find another tool/method.
We want to buy a full version which will work on a bigger scale of files - but we can't do it before this tool will actually work.
Anyway, sorry again for the inconvenience.
Yeah well, no Need to be "sorry" and there is no "inconvenience", like I said, I find it completely "Legit" to want to open several parallel Threads on different Tech Forums to try to reach different "Specialists", even if hum..., to be honest, there is not much "Expertise" about iMacros on SOF... I'm "more or less" the only (Advanced) User answering Threads/Qt's on that Forum but I do it pretty rarely actually because I don't really "like" the Site and most Users asking Qt's about iMacros tend to delete their Qt/Thread once they've got their Answer/Script working, to avoid sharing with the "Competition", ah-ah...!, which is against "my Principles" as I help Users for the whole Community...
Maybe you'll get some Suggestions about some other Tool(s) you could use if "it doesn't work" with iMacros... I guess there are maybe about 50 other Tools like iMacros that can be used for Web-Automation, and iMacros is "just" one of those 50, ah-ah...!
I was actually checking a few Sites about the "trending" Tools to use,
here +
here +
here for example, and iMacros is not even mentioned in any of those 3 Sites/Lists, ah-ah...! And most Names, I've never heard actually, oops...!

Let's move forward.
I'm sorry but the script isn't working again. I tried all of them including debugging. It's just doesn't work.
So I thought maybe we move to the last step possible - as you suggested, here's a sample of 40 links from this document:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/17cTN_l ... sp=sharing
I hope you'll try to work with it and more than that - I hope you'll figure it out and make it work for us.
I can't understand the problem, cause each time the script running - I get a different issue. (sometimes GS isn't opening at all, sometimes links aren't open and so on)
Let's hope the file will help you figure it out and we move forward with this tool. Otherwise, we will try to find another solution for this cause my supervisor is getting impatient.
Thanks again for trying to help. I appreciate it. Let's hope we'll fix it ASAP.
Alright, good-good, Thanks for providing the GoogleSheet Sample, and 40 Entries/Links is perfect indeed as it allows me to see already that the "ATTR=HREF:
http://www.linkedin.com/company/*" wouldn't have worked anyway for all Links, as some contain "/school/" or "/showcase/" instead of "/company/" in the URL...
Then, OK, up to some Testing...
Hum, GoogleSheets / 'drive.google.com' doesn't work anymore in my Default/"Prod" Browser for iMacros (=> PM v26.3.3), I see, but it works in FF55, and hum, the following "easy" Script works then directly for me:
Code: Select all
VERSION BUILD=8970419 RECORDER=FX
TAB T=1
'GOTO=https://drive.google.com/file/d/17cTN_lbVkJ6Ct2rGYjoQo2ciN26fBXSQ/view
'TAG POS={{!LOOP}} TYPE=A ATTR=HREF:http://www.linkedin.com/company/*
SET !LOOP 1
TAG POS={{!LOOP}} TYPE=A ATTR=HREF:*www.linkedin.com/*
=> If I loop it 25 times, it will open the 25 first Links in the List, => until the "/showcase/thales-digital-factory" Link from Row_27, and each new Link gets each time opened on 'LinkedIn' in 'TAB_2', directly in a next Tab on the Right of the 'TAB_1' where I have the GS loaded.
Notice that I am "using" the "raw" '!LOOP', for 'POS=1' => 'POS=2' => 'POS=3' etc...
I didn't need to double the Loop like I had assumed previously was needed from your Recording.
But the GS is in "Read-Only" Mode for me, maybe that makes a Difference with you, I don't know...
Tested with:
Code: Select all
iMacros v8.9.7 for FF, FF v55.0.3, Win10_x64.
And to make 'sure", I also tested in the same Version like you use:
Code: Select all
iMacros for CR v10.1.0 'Free', CR76, Win10_x64.
=> And it works also just fine, exactly like in FF. I only looped the Script 3 times in CR because I rarely use this Browser (that I don't like at all, Reason I'm still at CR76, I've completely locked that Browser to not update...), so I was not logged into 'LinkedIn' and the Site asked me for each opened Link/Tab to complete some Captcha Checking...
- (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...
