Questions & Suggestions

I'm trying to extract links from a webpage and having some difficulties hope someone can help. Below is the test Macro: open a page, extract all links and display them. However when I ran it the webpage opens but there is no link displayed.

For the javascript code, I also tried below but got same result (no link displayed).

Array.from(document.links, x => x.href).filter(e => e.match(/html$/i)).join('\n');

How to debug and make this work? ("Allow JavaScript from Apple Events" has been checked in Safari setting). Thanks.

Try this in your Javascript action

return Array.from(document.links, x => x.href).filter(e => e.match(/html$/i)).join('\n');

A word to the wise:

Lateral scanning (left to right) imposes cognitive processing effort on the reader, and long lines get occluded by the forum software.

( Vertical scanning is easier for your eyes than horizontal work )

No kudos for "one-liners" :slight_smile:

You can reduce the processing effort, for yourself, and for your readers,
by using horizontal expansion very sparingly:

return Array.from(document.links, x => x.href)
.filter(e => e.match(/html$/i))
.join('\n');
