Hey guys,

I'm trying to make a Twitter Retweet iMacro, and the weirdest thing is happening. So here's a Tweet:

https://twitter.com/jjuanusa/status/749885664204816384

In order to retweet this sonofabitch you have to click twice. First you click the Retweet icon there, and then a little popup appears, where you click Retweet, and the tweet gets retweeted.

My problem is with the first click that has to be made.

Now, for this tweet (having 10 retweets at the moment), this line of code works:

TAG POS=1 TYPE=BUTTON ATTR=TXT:Retweet<SP>10

However, I need a line that works universally for any tweet. I have tried the following until now:

TAG POS=1 TYPE=BUTTON ATTR=TXT:Retweet<SP>*
TAG POS=1 TYPE=BUTTON ATTR=TXT:Retweet*
TAG POS=1 TYPE=BUTTON ATTR=TXT:Retweet
TAG POS=1 TYPE=BUTTON ATTR=TXT:*
TAG POS=1 TYPE=BUTTON ATTR=TXT:
TAG POS=1 TYPE=BUTTON ATTR=TITLE:Retweet

NONE works. WTF? The asterisk * is supposed to be a universal switcher, and should have worked!!

Can anyone help? I can't believe I'm stuck on this.

Thanks

It's a quite old thread, but have you tried switching recording modes? If you can't seem to capture the element with the default recording mode, you can switch to event recording mode or when everything else fails, to directscreen.

I don't work with Twitter anymore, but back then when i did, i made many macros using the mobile version of Twitter (m.twitter.com), because it was often easier and the macros were faster that way. Maybe try that too.

Oh man, this is an oooold thread.

But all the advice you gave is gold, spot on, as always :)
