Using iMacros to assign a variable the value of another variable

Running an imacro to automate the addition of sub-domain DNS records through the 123reg front end has presented some challenges due to my specific naming convention.

I am mapping two sets of domains as follows: - x.x.x.1 to x.x.x.128 on domain1.com - x.x.x.129 to x.x.x.254 on domain2.com

Below is the code used to map the addresses for domain1.com:

TAB T=1
SET !LOOP 1
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT FORM=NAME:advanced_DNS ATTR=NAME:hostname CONTENT=mx{{!LOOP}}
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT FORM=NAME:advanced_DNS ATTR=NAME:data_A CONTENT=x.x.x.{{!LOOP}}
TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=ID:save_dns_entries
WAIT SECONDS=2

I've been attempting to introduce a variable !VAR0 and perform some simple calculations, such as:

!VAR0 !LOOP
ADD !VAR0 -128
TAB T=1
SET !LOOP 1
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT FORM=NAME:advanced_DNS ATTR=NAME:hostname CONTENT=mx{{!VAR0}}
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT FORM=NAME:advanced_DNS ATTR=NAME:data_A CONTENT=x.x.x.{{!LOOP}}
TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=ID:save_dns_entries
WAIT SECONDS=2

This approach adds "!LOOP" to !VAR0...is there a way to assign the value of one variable to another in imacros? I understand that its mathematical capabilities are limited...

Answer №1

Another option is utilizing the iMacros scripting interface and implementing commands like iimSet and iimPlay.

Answer №2

After some careful consideration, I was able to solve my issue by coming up with a better strategy! The key is to surround a variable or loop (!VAR0 or !LOOP) with double curly brackets, like this: {{!LOOP}} will display the value of that variable.

If you need to set the value of a variable and then perform mathematical operations on it, you can use the following code:

!VAR0 {{!LOOP}} 
!VAR0 - 128

Below is the answer to my previous problem, specifically for 123reg.com's advanced DNS entry. This code allows for quick and automated addition of subdomains in the format mx0.domain.com, where '0' represents a range of numbers, and x.x.x. represents the first 3 digits of an IP address. This can be especially useful when mapping a range of IPs to subdomains on a server's DNS.

TAB T=1
SET !LOOP 129
SET !VAR0 {{!LOOP}}
ADD !VAR0 -128
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT FORM=NAME:advanced_DNS ATTR=NAME:hostname CONTENT=mx{{!VAR0}}
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT FORM=NAME:advanced_DNS ATTR=NAME:data_A CONTENT=x.x.x.{{!LOOP}}
TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=ID:save_dns_entries
WAIT SECONDS=2
