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

Hello ztodd,

SAVEAS is currently not supported in iMacros for Chrome:

http://wiki.imacros.net/iMacros_for_Chr ... imitations

Currently, the only way to "get" the extracted data is if you are using the iMacros Scripting Edition to automate iMacros for Chrome, then you can retrieve the extracted data by calling iimGetLastExtract() in your script.

The SAVEAS functionality is going to be implemented in the next major release of iMacros for Chrome, but unfortunately I don't know the time frame just yet.
Regards,

Tom, iMacros Support

Well, I discovered I can copy it to the clipboard at least- this seems to work.

SET !CLIPBOARD {{!EXTRACT}}
