TAG POS=1 TYPE=P ATTR=CLASS:"tel-number" EXTRACT=TXT
SAVEAS TYPE=EXTRACT FOLDER=/Users/Me FILE=cl-num.csv

Very hard to see the black letters over a dark blue footer). Thank for following up the old one, I actually ended up doing just what you suggested and used the experimental method and it worked
As for this one, what information am I missing? Please understand I'm an iMacro noob but I have spent hours learning and figured out all the stuff so far on my own.
Yep, sorry but I don't react to Thread when FCI is not mentioned, I won't ask a next time...myima wrote:My config:Code: Select all

Hum... still not completely convinced to help you, first I don't help for Captchas which are meant as anti-Web-Automation Measure, I'm of course able to bypass them all, but I respect the "Idea" for "normal Users"...myima wrote:I like 8.9.7 as it has some features I use a lot. I just set my FF not to manually update too.
I was testing extracting both emails and phone numbers from craigs list ads.
I can extract both up until I start getting captchas. Ive been doing research for the past 2 days.
Just last night I was up doing this 10pm to 9am believe it or not.
I think I've read just about every post on the internet, some a similar but I still wasn't able to implement it. I got a lot done but still can't get past the not getting duplicate emails/numbers. Probably because it requires javascript and I dont know the language. Im trying not to contact the same user selling what I'm looking for on CL more than once. Now I could simple clean my CSV file manually after I get some email/# extracted but thats not what I'm tying to accomplish.
I would love to make this macro completely autonomous:
search-->if find-->extract-->contact-->wait sec...repeat
if duplicate found-->NOT extract-->restart macro.
Oh well, then look at the following Thread for example, where I ended up writing a complete Script for the User as I found the Case "interesting", but there are other similar Threads on the Forum as well and a few other Methods that I probably have mentioned in that Thread as well...myima wrote:I'm really not doing any spamming, I'm just automating searching for an item on craigs-list so when one does come out for sale I contact the seller automatically.
Do you mind letting me know what I should search for under your posts? You have over 6000 posts... I'm willing to read all topics dealing with this
Hum..., that's indeed a judicious Observation, ah-ah...! Oops, sorry about that...myima wrote:I think you forgot to add the link to the thread you were referring to. And yes if I figure it out I will post my end results.

"... you have to use imacros via Javascript...", hum..., that's not completely correct..., and not the "best" Solution anyway...
