I found "iret" in imacros wiki. What is it?

Dim imacros, iret, i Set imacros = CreateObject("imacros") 
iret = imacros.iimInit() 
For i=0 To 4  
  ' You have to convert the value into a string! 
  iret = imacro.iimSet("myloop", CStr(i)) 
  iret = imacros.iimPlay("mymacro") 
Next

iret = imacro.iimSet("greeting", "hello") iret = imacros.iimPlay("1st-macro") 
 
iret = imacro.iimSet("greeting", "hello") 
iret = imacros.iimPlay("2nd-macro")

int ret_code = iimSet ( String VARNAME, String VARVALUE )

1. int ret_code
2. iret
3. Set imacros = CreateObject("imacros")
4. Init()
5. Dim imacros, iret, i
6. imacro.iimSet("myloop", CStr(i)) pls explain the word in bold

At first i want to say that i just can code javascript, but this is Visual Basic.

I think the "int ret_code" and "iret" means the same in javascript.
It's a variable which returns a number, depending on the success of the macro you played. If the macro gets an error, the variable iret stores the error code. If the macro was successfully played, the number is 1. Look on google + imacros error return codes (i cant post links here..)
That's very helpful to handle errors. I use this for example to check if something on a page exists or not.

imacro.iimSet("myloop",CStr(i))
This transfers a variable into your macro. In this case you have to call the variable inside the macro with {{myloop}}. The String, Number or whatever is stored in that value is CStr(i) which had to be defined before playing the macro. I think its an array, but like i said i don't know anything about Visual Basic

The others.. No idea.. But there should be some entries in the wiki about that,too. Or look in the official forum of iopus.
