Yeah no problem. It's best to just record something simple first, and then click edit to change it up. But I explain the steps to take below.
SET !ERRORIGNORE YES
'Set Error Ignore : It means that if your script runs into a problem just skip it and move on.
This is a must if you don't want your bot to stop because of a page load error or anything really.'
SET !DATASOURCE youtubeaccounts.csv
'This is the datasource and is the most important for calling info or storing it. So say you have 1k accounts you want to cycle through and load. First you would need to open up a blank excel document and save it as a CSV (Comma delimited) formatted file, make sure to save it in Documents/Imacros
Name it whatever you want, like for my youtube bot I call it " youtubeaccounts.csv " Now that you set that up you can call or save data.'
SET !DATASOURCE_COLUMNS 3
'Data Source Column 3 means I am using 3 rows in my excel document. A, B, And C. In "A" I have all my accounts, In "B" I have my passwords, and In "C" the Url's I want to comment on.
SET !DATASOURCE_LINE {{!LOOP}}
'It tells Imacros to loop through all of the cells in a row. So starting at A1 login with that name. Then login to A2 and so on.'
So lets say I want to go to the first url that I have in my DATASOURCE, It would need to be
" URL GOTO={{!COL3}} " because remember I stored all of my url's in column "C" When you do a recording of Imacros it's records like this " URL GOTO=http://somedomain.com "
Well if you want to visit each url without having to record each and every action, you would just set the datasource and call the url with " {{!COL3}} " I hope it's not confusing you.
Just give it a try and you will figure it out. I guess I'll make a video and show it here. It's actually very simple.
