Simple but powerful set of commands
Detailed error handling
Windows OS includes Windows Scripting Host (WSH)
Easy database access
The six most important commands:
set iim1= CreateObject ("iMacros")
i = iim1.iimInit ("")
i = iim1.iimDisplay("This is a test")
i = iim1.iimSet("-var_name1", "Tom Tester")
i = iim1.iimPlay("Test1")
If i > 0 Then s = "Everything OK"
Else s = iim1.iimGetLastError()
MsgBox s
i = iim1.iimExit
Error Return Codes
All functions return a value > 0 if they succeed, and an error code < 0 in case of problems.
Error codes below -100 are error codes generated during the macro replay. Same code as when macro is run manually.
-1 Macro timeout (Macro takes too long to run)
-2 IIM Interface timeout (IM browser does not respond)
-3 User pressed STOP button
-4 Communication error (should not happen)
-5 Browser closed (User pressed EXIT button)
VB6 with Intellisense Support
In order to enable Intellisense support, you need to add the IInternetMacros" component to your project ( Early binding").
The alternative is to use CreateObject ( Late Binding", no Intellisense support)
Intellisense in action…
Add iMacros COM object

Performance Monitoring
Create response time measurement macro, and return the data to your script for further processing. Use {{!STOPWATCHTIME}} to return the measured time.
Use a script to alert you when response time is above threshold
Create Google News Extractor:
Submit keyword search to Google News
Extract headlines from returned search results
Store headlines in text file
Click NEXT link until all results are extracted
Example: imacros -macro CmdLineTest -var1 Hello[SP]World!
After completing the macro, the program automatically stops and closes. Note that in command lines you need to use the square brackets instead of the usual '' ones to denote a space [SP] or break [BR] otherwise Windows does not execute the command line correctly.
