Hopefully I can explain this well. I am trying to put together an imacro script but the url links are going to be different for each time ..I have a list of the differences but I cant figure out how to add them without doing it manually.

For instance:

Code:

URL GOTO=websitehere.com/page=1
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT FORM=NAME:vbform ATTR=NAME:title CONTENT=test
TAG POS=1 TYPE=TEXTAREA FORM=NAME:vbform ATTR=ID:vB_Editor_001_textarea CONTENT=test<SP>for<SP>imacro.
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT FORM=NAME:vbform ATTR=ID:vB_Editor_001_save
WAIT SECONDS=10
URL GOTO=websitehere.com/page=2
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT FORM=NAME:vbform ATTR=NAME:title CONTENT=test
TAG POS=1 TYPE=TEXTAREA FORM=NAME:vbform ATTR=ID:vB_Editor_001_textarea CONTENT=test<SP>for<SP>imacro.
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT FORM=NAME:vbform ATTR=ID:vB_Editor_001_save
WAIT SECONDS=10

The part I need to change is where it says "page=1, page=2, etc" I have a big list of pages I want to add. Is there anyway I can do this without manually adding the url link to the script one by one?

So..basically...I need to do a repetitive action on a bunch of different pages....am I setting up the script wrong all together? Maybe there is a way to do it so that it can just repeat but pull a url from another list each time? i dont know....

I just figured this out on my own

For those who are interested here is the full code needed.

Code:

VERSION BUILD=6240709 RECORDER=FX
TAB T=1
CMDLINE !DATASOURCE url.csv
'Number of colums in the CSV file:
SET !DATASOURCE_COLUMNS 1
'Increase the current position in the file
SET !DATASOURCE_LINE {{!LOOP}}
URL GOTO={{!COL1}}
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT FORM=NAME:vbform ATTR=NAME:title CONTENT=test
TAG POS=1 TYPE=TEXTAREA FORM=NAME:vbform ATTR=ID:vB_Editor_001_textarea CONTENT=test<SP>for<SP>imacro.
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT FORM=NAME:vbform ATTR=ID:vB_Editor_001_save
WAIT SECONDS=10

Then in the imacros datasource file you need a csv file with all the urls you want it to go to listed in a column. And finally in the program you tell it to play a loop with the number of loops being the number of lines in your csv file.
