imacros help if statements

Question

In my macro1.iim , I search google for Iron Maiden. If a certain keyword is found in the results (example: the word "eddy") I want to extract the word "eddy" and save it to a text file. If the word is not found I want to wait 10min and search again.

Thinking eval or making a vbs script?
Could someone show me how do I do this?

I've tried this:

`VERSION BUILD=7500718 RECORDER=FX
SET !EXTRACT_TEST_POPUP NO
SET !ERRORIGNORE YES
SET !TIMEOUT_PAGE 15
TAB T=1     
TAB CLOSEALLOTHERS
ONDIALOG POS=1 BUTTON=OK CONTENT=
URL GOTO=http://google.com/search=ironmaiden/
TAG POS=1 TYPE=P ATTR=TXT:eddy EXTRACT=TXT
SET !VAR1 EVAL("var s=\"{{!EXTRACT}}\";var txt=/eddy/i;
if (s.match(eddy)) iimPlay(macro2)
else WAIT=10000 seconds {{!LOOP}}")`

BTW - that should be *eddie* not *eddy* – D.Shawley Feb 09 '13 at 13:50 — D.Shawley, Feb 09 '13 at 13:50

Here is one way you can do it with iMacros JavaScript scripting.

//declaring the macro
var macroIronMaiden;

macroIronMaiden ="CODE:";
macroIronMaiden +="VERSION BUILD=7500718 RECORDER=FX"+"\n";
macroIronMaiden +="SET !EXTRACT_TEST_POPUP NO"+"\n";
macroIronMaiden +="SET !ERRORIGNORE YES"+"\n";
macroIronMaiden +="SET !TIMEOUT_PAGE 15"+"\n";
macroIronMaiden +="TAB T=1"+"\n";
macroIronMaiden +="TAB CLOSEALLOTHERS"+"\n";
macroIronMaiden +="ONDIALOG POS=1 BUTTON=OK CONTENT="+"\n";
macroIronMaiden +="URL GOTO=http://google.com/search=ironmaiden/"+"\n";
macroIronMaiden +="TAG POS=1 TYPE=P ATTR=TXT:eddy EXTRACT=TXT"+"\n";



var macroWait;

macroWait ="CODE:";
macroWait +="WAIT SECONDS=600";    
////////Beginning///////


//this loop will search 10 times. Change number 10 for more times

for(var i=0;i<10;i++)
{

iimPlay(macroIronMaiden)

var extract=iimGetLastExtract();

if(extract.toLowerCase()=="eddy")
{

//save it to text file
}
else
{

    iimDisplay("Waiting for 10 minutes")
iimPlay(macroWait)
}

}

You can use this answer to save the data in text file.

One last thing man. can you store lots of extracted values? like extract 'eddy', extract 'current url'...etc and save them for later use? – user2055234 Feb 09 '13 at 04:05
Yes. Check out the link I wrote in the bottom of my response. Use that function to save the data into a file. – edinvnode Feb 09 '13 at 05:23
