iMacros - How do I TAG URL with unique surrounding html? - macros

Question

I need to extract "https://www.somesite.com/Some.Name.123" from the code below.
That code segment is repeated many times, and I need the URLs ..Some.Name.X.
There are other code segments between each of the ones I'm interested in, with very different surrounding html. I don't need the ..Some.Name.x URLs in those other segments.
The following is unique to what URLs I need: "<a class="-cx-PRIVATE-uiImageBlock__image"
<div class="clearfix pvm">
<a class="-cx-PRIVATE-uiImageBlock__image -cx-PRIVATE-uiImageBlock__largeImage lfloat"
aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1" href="https://www.somesite.com/Some.Name.123">

Answer 1

I don't know how to tag that preceding HTML with iMacros, or how to do that with jQuery as the structure will a bit different each time, but you could to this.
Save the web pages with iMacros. Write a program (c, etc.) to read each of the saved files and write the URLs that follow "cx-PRIVATE-uiImageBlock__image" to a file. Add that list of URLs to an iMacro, or have iMacros read the file, and then process each URL from iMacros.

Answer 2

You need to use some scripting.
My answer makes use of jQuery
var listoflinks = []; //array containing your links
$('a[href*="somesite.com"]').each(function () { // for each link that contains somesite.com in href
var j = $(this).attr('href'); //put the whole href in a variable
listoflinks.push(j); // put all values in an array
});
you'll end up with an array that contains all the href values you're looking for.
If you want to see an example and/or you want to play around with the script you can go here:

Your code is still not clear enough, but hopefully this may help
<a class="sibling a" href="link">sibling a</a><br />
<div class="sibling div"><br />
<a class="child a" href="start-with-link/correct-link">Child a</a><br />
</div><br />
Above is the markup I've used. What this means is that I have considered that you have the following elements:
a // with a sibking div
div // with a child a
a // and all of them have appropriate classes
For this markup you can use the following code (jQuery, of course)
var listoflinks = []; //array containing your links
$('a[class="sibling a"]').siblings('div[class="sibling div"]').children('a[class="child a"]').each(function () {
if ((($(this).attr("href")).substring(0,15))=="start-with-link"){
var i = $(this).attr("href");
listoflinks.push(i);
}
});

Be that as it may, you can add more sibling and children elements in case you have other html entities you forgot to mention
<a class="-cx-PRIVATE-uiImageBlock__image" ------------------ <div class="clearfix pvm"> <a class="-cx-PRIVATE-uiImageBlock__image -cx-PRIVATE-uiImageBlock__largeImage lfloat" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1" href="somesite.com/some.name.123">
For example, what means ------------------ in your code above?
