Wait for the file to download (or loop IfFileExists), Use XLOpen to open the Excel file

Resize the window? ResizeWindow and if required MoveWindow

3 how to move to a cell in the opened excel file and copy the data from that cell to another excel file.
you've already used XLOpen to open the first Excel file, so then use XLGetCell to read the data from the cell you require. Then use XLOpen to open the second file, and XLSetCell to write to the required cell in the newly opened Excel workbook. Make sure to use a different handle for each workbook opened with XLOpen (reading the pages I linked to will explain that).

el_1 will be the first match, el_2 the second, el_3 the third, and so on. There may be a better way of doing this but this example specifically relates to the snippet you provided.

Code: Select all

ChromeFindElements>session_id,xpath,//span[@style='white-space: nowrap;'],el
ChromeGetElementData>session_id,el_1,text,TheText
mdl>TheText
Then write TheText to your spreadsheet with XLSetCell.

First of all you'd use XLGetSheetDims to find out how many rows there are, and loop that many times.

You should then be able to download the pdf with HTTPRequest :

Code: Select all

let>TheURL=https://www.mjtnet.com/MacroSchedulerManual.pdf
HTTPRequest>TheURL,d:\MacroSchedulerManual.pdf,GET,,HTMLResponse
