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.

question: is there a simple way to search HTML for a string

Post by awakebutnot » Wed Sep 28, 2005 10:02 pm

i want to run a macro, then check if a condition exists when i reach a certain point in the macro. i understand how to use the condition operators, but what if i want to check for the condition that the CURRENT PAGE contains a specific string, called, say string x. let x = "the text i'm looking for in the HTML page". specifically, checking this text verifies some things for me but also it becomes useful in certain contexts, such as "did i successfully log in?" and i can add error handling ect.

a brief code snippet giving a simple .vbs example would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
Austin Barnes

for future reference, i used google.com to search your site, using the following query:

"site:iopus.com search"

(no quotes)

it was the third result:
