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.

Extract Data and Paste to Field with existing text

Post by Eddgy » Mon Mar 19, 2018 8:20 pm

So I just purchased the program for the file data extraction option and I'm having some trouble figuring out how to make it work.

I have a CSV file with two columns. Column 1 has a number that needs to be searched, and column 2 has a code that I need inserted into a field with existing information in that numbers page.

For example:
  • Column 1 Column 2
    1234567 7548
    7954321 8475
Can anyone help with the data extraction that changes to each row every loop?

CIM...! :mrgreen: (Read my Sig...)

You already have a few very similar/related Threads on the Forum btw... :idea:

:arrow: Hum, and in iMacros "Terminology", "(Data) Extraction" means you are extracting/scrapping Data from a Web-Page/Site (using the 'EXTRACT' Mechanism), and not "retrieving" it from your own '.CSV' DataSource File.
=> Your Thread has nothing to do with 'Data Extraction', correct Sub-Forum would have been the 'General' one... (But don't worry, is OK, no need to duplicate your Thread now...)
- (F)CI(M) = (Full) Config Info (Missing): iMacros + Browser + OS (+ all 3 Versions + 'Free'/'PE'/'Trial').
- FCI not mentioned: I don't even read the Qt...! (or only to catch Spam!)
- Script & URL help a lot for more "educated" Help...
