Help evaluating something on a webpage

Post by hovisogden » Wed Jan 22, 2014 3:02 am

Hi,

I am new to this forum and relatively new to using iMacros for Firefox. I need to create a macro that will go to the following page:

http://www.galleryofguns.com/genie/Defa ... code=31313

and evaluate the text that is on it. On this page, where it says "Number Available:" and a number (right now it says "Number Available: 0"), I need it to evaluate the number that is there and, IF it is greater than 0, notify me by making a noise. I already know how to get the macro to make the noise:
(URL GOTO=file://C:\Windows\Media\chimes.wav). I'll need to use this for several other webpages, too, but I assume the steps will be the same. From what I understand, I'll probably need to use Java's Eval function? Or will I? If so, exactly what will the code look like? I know very little about writing code.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Code: Select all

VERSION BUILD=8601111 RECORDER=FX
TAB T=1
SET !ERRORIGNORE YES
SET !EXTRACT_TEST_POPUP NO

URL GOTO=http://www.galleryofguns.com/genie/Default.aspx?item=1293&mfg=Ruger&mdl=10%2f22&cat=All&type=All&cal=All&fin=&sit=&zipcode=31313
TAG POS=1 TYPE=B ATTR=TXT:Number<SP>Available:
'TAG POS=1 TYPE=SPAN ATTR=ID:ctl00_mainContent_mainContentControl_lblQty
TAG POS=R1 TYPE=SPAN ATTR=ID:ctl00_mainContent_mainContentControl_lblQty EXTRACT=TXT

SET !VAR1 EVAL("if (\"{{!EXTRACT}}\" == \"0\") {var s = \"\";} else {var s = \"C:\\\Windows\\\Media\\\chimes.wav\";} s;")
'PROMPT !EXTRACT:<SP>{{!EXTRACT}}<br>!VAR1:<SP>{{!VAR1}}

URL GOTO=file://{{!VAR1}}
Change the '0' in the EVAL to '1' to test that it is working... (while the real Value on the Site is still "0"...!)

Tested on iMacros for FF v8.60, FF v26.0, WinXP SP3.

Re: Help evaluating something on a webpage

Ok, I am now trying to adapt this to a different webpage and it is not working. Unfortunately, I can't provide the exact URL of the new webpage because I have to be logged into my account to use it. However, I have saved this webpage as an HTML document and I am attaching it to this post as a .zip file. Again, what I need this macro to do is go to the webpage and evaluate the text that is on it. On this page, where it says "Number Available:" and a number (right now it says "Number Available: 0"), I need it to evaluate the number that is there and, IF it is greater than 0, notify me by making a noise (and stop the macro, if possible). Here is what I have on this new, adapted macro:

-------------------------
VERSION BUILD=8601111 RECORDER=FX
TAB T=1
SET !ERRORIGNORE YES
SET !EXTRACT_TEST_POPUP YES

URL GOTO=https://www.ellettbrothers.com/storefro ... tm_index=0
TAG POS=1 TYPE=TD ATTR=TXT:*
'TAG POS=1 TYPE=TD ATTR=TXT:*
TAG POS=1 TYPE=TD ATTR=TXT:* EXTRACT=TXT

SET !VAR1 EVAL("if (\"{{!EXTRACT}}\" == \"0\") {var s = \"\";} else {var s = \"C:\\\Windows\\\Media\\\chimes.wav\";} s;")
'PROMPT !EXTRACT:<SP>{{!EXTRACT}}<br>!VAR1:<SP>{{!VAR1}}

URL GOTO=file://{{!VAR1}}
------------------------
Note that I changed "SET !EXTRACT_TEST_POPUP NO" to "SET !EXTRACT_TEST_POPUP YES" to see what exactly the macro is extracting. Here is what it is extracting when I run it: "Please wait, loading real time pricing and inventory...". Then, as the macro finishes, it makes the ding sound (which it shouldn't be making, because the number there is currently "0"). One thing I've noticed about this macro, as opposed to the previous one, is that, when I record the macro and select the "0", the macro records "TAG POS=1 TYPE=TD ATTR=TXT:0" (I changed this to "TAG POS=1 TYPE=TD ATTR=TXT:*"). On the original macro (posted by chivracq in the second post), when recording, if you select the "0", you get this: "TAG POS=1 TYPE=SPAN ATTR=ID:ctl00_mainContent_mainContentControl_lblQty", so apparently these pages are coded differently?

What am I doing wrong here?
