Run Number of Loop in javascript based on txt file

Post by techimac » Tue Apr 12, 2016 6:30 am

I want to run number of loops according to column 2 of datasource file
This doesn't work.
I know it's wrong but don't know how to pass the value ({{!COL2}}.

var n={{!COL2}};

for(var i=0;i<n;i++)
{
var macro = "";
macro += "CODE:" + "\n";
macro += "SET !DATASOURCE keywords.txt" + "\n";
macro += "SET !DATASOURCE_COLUMNS 2" + "\n";
macro += "WAIT SECONDS=15" + "\n";
iimPlay(macro);
}

Or I can use IF statement
let run loop for 1000 and column 2 value is 20

if i = 20 then exit for.

How to achieve this?

I tried this but not working.
I am new to Javascript.

var n=100

for(var i=0;i<n;i++)
{
var macro = "";
macro += "CODE:" + "\n";
macro += "SET !DATASOURCE keywords.txt" + "\n";
macro += "SET !DATASOURCE_COLUMNS 2" + "\n";
macro += "WAIT SECONDS=1" + "\n";
macro += "SET !EXTRACT {{!col2}}" + "\n";
LoopNumber = iimGetLastExtract(0);
if (LoopNumber = i) {
var macro2 = "";
macro2 += "CODE:" + "\n";
macro2 += "prompt \"yes\"" + "\n";
}
iimPlay(macro);
iimPlay(macro2);
}
