Hi Everyone, I'm new to using Imacros and can do pretty simple things (basically record haha), but there is something that I want to make that I can't seem to figure out and haven't been able to find instructions.
Basically I want to perform an action on website using Imacros for chrome, and I want to repeat that action on multiple URLs. I want to be able to input the urls.
I used excel to basically write the lines for me (then I'd just copy and paste a really long code thats basically the same thing over and over again but with different urls) but I'm sure there's a more efficient way to do this.
Can someone help me?
In short I want to be able:
1. List 15 urls
2. Repeat the same actions but on each url. So it does it on url one, then repeats on two, then on three, etc.
Also I'd prefer not to have to use a csv file if possible. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I'm using IMacros for Chrome on Windows 10. Using the paid version.
How do you create a repeating macro on multiple URLs?

1- Try to select the correct Sub-Forum when you open a Thread, your Thread (from its Title) has probably nothing specific to the 'iMacros for CR' Sub-Forum...
(But no need to duplicate now...)
2- Thread Title is useless, give a Descriptive Title to your Thread..., if you already know it's "simple", then you don't need any Help from the Forum...!
3- FCIM...! (Read my Sig...)
(And I'll read your Post once you'll have corrected Items '2-' and '3-'... (+ Mention 'Free' or 'PE' if using v10.0.2 for CR...) )

Re: Help creating what should be a simple Macro
Thanks Chivracq, I've made the changes and will note to pay attention in future posts. Can you let me know also what the correct subform would be so I can make sure to do that one in the future?chivracq wrote:Grrr...!, Thread approved because "No Spam", but...:corey377 wrote:Hi Everyone, I'm new to using Imacros and can do pretty simple things (basically record haha), but there is something that I want to make that I can't seem to figure out and haven't been able to find instructions.

OK..., Thread Title = Perfect...corey377 wrote:I'm usingCode: Select all
IMacros for Chrome on Windows 10. Using the paid version.
FCI, hum..., not much more complete than previously...
=> iMacros for CR v10.0.2 'PE', CR67...?, Win10.
But OK, good enough..., I guess I can read...
OK, yep, what you want is the "Principle" demonstrated in the 'Loop-Csv-2-Web.iim' Demo-Macro..., but it uses a '.CSV' File as DataSource, that's a bit the Principle of iMacros... But it can be a '.TXT' File or whatever File Extension you want to give it... Where do you want to "have" your 15 URL's otherwise...? (Copying them in block onto your OS Clipboard to reuse in your Script doesn't work on CR... Limitation...)
Maybe the Workaround mentioned in this Post...?:
- Tips for using iMacros for Chrome freeware
But if you have the 'PE' Version (paid 'Personal Edition' Version), you can use the FIO Module for File Access, and using a '.CSV' is much more straightforward and easier than the cumbersome Workaround described in that Post which is actually meant for Users who only have the Free Version and can't use Local Files...
Hum, or you can store them in some GoogleDoc as well, that's an Idea...

Sir, I use an addon who opens pop-up as new tab, then I use something like this code:
If this helps you.
If this helps you.
Code: Select all
