Search from LIST entry in Navigation TXT area

[MrThingy 0]

Hi all,

OK, noob alert (sorry!).  I bought the software ages ago and despite reading I am only just trying to put it into practice.

Re: PROBLEM ADING TEXT FROM A LIST INTO A WEBSITES SEARCH BAR ON A LOOP

I've defined a new list and entered 100k line items into a .txt file.

I've named the list with good naming conventions and cleared it.

I've photographed the area to enter text into.

in the TEXT TO TYPE I am using the $text from list parameter (remember the list has 100k lines of date)

No text is being called or entered into the search field.

I would like the bot to visit a URL, enter the first line of text from a LIST, then scrape the result, and add to a new list to enrich the data.

Then, LOOP on increments.

 

Can anyone point me in the right direction please?  Worried I am using the wrong parameter in the wrong place.

 

Cheers.

Here is a simple example how to use a loop and counter:

comment("Prepare a list")
clear list(%your_list)
add list to list(%your_list,$list from text("Input 1
Input 2
Input 3
Input 4
Input 5",$new line),"Don\'t Delete","Global")
set(#task_counter,0,"Global")
set(#tasks_total,$list total(%your_list),"Global")
comment("Loop to perform a task for every list entry")
loop while($comparison(#task_counter,"< Less than",$list total(%your_list))) {
    alert($list item(%your_list,#task_counter))
    increment(#task_counter)
}
alert("All done!")

--------------------

You can run this code and see how it works.

PS.: I would recommend not to loop through 100.000 items at once. Would divide it into smaller batches and/or to append results after each iteration to a file. Because it would be very frustrating if you need to wait 50.000 iterations, didn't save results yet and something goes wrong.

Ok thank you.  I’m guessing I could write a bot to cycle through smaller files? Lol 😝
