Re: xmacrorec

[Hugo Wau <wauhugo@yahoo.com>]

Sorry, I am not at my own PC - and not using the default mail application but am using webmail and forgot to have an extra look at the "TO:" line after hitting the REPLY button.

The old versions of Windows 3.0 and 3.1 came with a RECORDER application by default. And something like that is what I am looking for because I have to extract amounts of data from websites, while being logged in to that site.

Elinks could do it for me without such a recorder software IF there would be a way to remain logged in while calling the next webpage from a script.

Is there an other way to hit the NEXT-Button in web-pages from a script, other than using a recorded macro?

Hi Hugo,

Sorry, I don't know anything about xmacrorec or xmacroplay.
On another note make sure when you reply to posts on the mailing list that you are posting your reply to the list (debian-user@lists.debian.org) and not directly to someone email address.  This way everyone can see your reply and maybe give you more help.

Good Luck
