Update Macro incremental nth-of-type

Post by marchello » Mon Sep 09, 2019 9:21 pm

Hello,

I was running an imacro script for long time without issue and today I see it stop when reach specific point. I try to record new macro to see if there is an update on the code and found something different, well I try to adapt with the new code and it was working but only on first image next image stop the script. I notice something different on the new recorded macro but don't know how to implement it :oops:

my line of code was like this

Code: Select all

iimPlay("CODE:EVENTS TYPE=KEYPRESS SELECTOR=HTML>BODY>DIV:nth-of-type(3)>DIV>DIV:nth-of-type(3)>DIV>DIV:nth-of-type(2)>DIV:nth-of-type(2)>DIV:nth-of-type(3)>DIV>DIV:nth-of-type(6)>UL>LI>INPUT CHARS={{TAGS}}");
iimPlay("CODE:EVENTS TYPE=KEYPRESS SELECTOR=HTML>BODY>DIV:nth-of-type(3)>DIV>DIV:nth-of-type(3)>DIV>DIV:nth-of-type(2)>DIV:nth-of-type(2)>DIV:nth-of-type(3)>DIV>DIV:nth-of-type(6)>UL>LI>INPUT KEYS=[32,32]")};
and here code when I make a new record with adding tags

Code: Select all

EVENTS TYPE=KEYPRESS SELECTOR="#multiuploader>DIV>DIV:nth-of-type(3)>DIV>DIV:nth-of-type(2)>DIV:nth-of-type(2)>DIV:nth-of-type(3)>DIV>DIV:nth-of-type(6)>UL>LI>INPUT" CHARS="aze "

EVENTS TYPE=KEYPRESS SELECTOR="#multiuploader>DIV>DIV:nth-of-type(3)>DIV>DIV:nth-of-type(2)>DIV:nth-of-type(2)>DIV:nth-of-type(3)>DIV>DIV:nth-of-type(6)>UL>LI:nth-of-type(3)>INPUT" CHARS="dss "
EVENTS TYPE=KEYPRESS SELECTOR="#multiuploader>DIV>DIV:nth-of-type(3)>DIV>DIV:nth-of-type(2)>DIV:nth-of-type(2)>DIV:nth-of-type(3)>DIV>DIV:nth-of-type(6)>UL>LI:nth-of-type(4)>INPUT" CHARS="cvb " etc.....
Not sure but I think it's the nth-of-type(??) that need to adapt to next image tags hope it's clear :roll:

Your Thread will probably get moved to the 'General' Sub-Forum as it has nothing specific with 'FF', especially if you don't even mention your FCI, (but no need to duplicate now), and the 'EVENT' Mode is not even supported on FF anymore (in v10.02 for FF), even if for many years it was only implemented for FF...

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

=> Mention your FCI for me to answer your Qt...
- (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...

Hum, OK, good to hear, but you could give some more "Explanation" and post the Solution, with your final Script... :idea:
"I just fixed it on my code" is not very helpful for other Users if you don't share the/your Solution... :roll:

Alright, perfect...!, and Thanks...! :D

Well, if you want some "mini-Explanation", your "old" Code had been recorded using the 'EVENT' Mode without ID's, while you recorded the "new" Code with ID's in the Record Options for the ("experimental") 'EVENT' Mode.

If you recorded that part without ID's again, you would get the same or very similar Code like your old Code and/or you could have compared more easily if it was still the same or what part exactly had changed... :idea:

But the 'EVENT' Mode with ID's is usually a little bit more "reliable" than without ID's if the Content of the Page changes, in case some HTML Element(s) get(s) added or removed in the CSS Tree Structure of the Path, like an extra Paragraph in some Text Content, or an Ad on the Page, for example...
