iMacros: URL GOTO = null, skip?

I have a long sequence of code, that visit a website, logins in, posts content from a .csv and saves information, logs out and visit the next website. It's all hard-coded.

What is the easiest way of skipping parts of the code? I have 60 websites. Example:

Right now, I don't want the macro visiting website 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 22, 26, 35, 40, 45, 50, 59.
In one hour, I don't want the macro visiting website 4, 5 , 9, 10, 19, 30, 31, 49 and 50.

Example how my code looks:

' First Website 
TAB T=1
SET !DATASOURCE test.csv
SET !DATASOURCE_COLUMNS 2
SET !LOOP 2
SET !DATASOURCE_LINE {{!LOOP}}
SET !ERRORIGNORE YES
SET !TIMEOUT_PAGE 2

URL GOTO=http://liu.com

TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT FORM=ID:mortalSubmit ATTR=NAME:title CONTENT={{!COL1}}
TAG POS=1 TYPE=TEXTAREA FORM=ID:mortalSubmit ATTR=ID:post CONTENT={{!COL2}}
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT FORM=ID:mortalSubmit ATTR=ID:submit

ADD !EXTRACT {{!URLCURRENT}}
ADD !EXTRACT {{!COL1}}
ADD !EXTRACT {{!COL2}}
TAG POS=1 TYPE=DIV ATTR=CLASS:success EXTRACT=TXT
TAG POS=1 TYPE=DIV ATTR=CLASS:error EXTRACT=TXT
SAVEAS TYPE=EXTRACT FOLDER=* FILE=report.csv

TAG POS=2 TYPE=A ATTR=TXT:Log<SP>out

WAIT SECONDS=3

' Second Website 

TAB T=1
SET !DATASOURCE test.csv
SET !DATASOURCE_COLUMNS 2
SET !LOOP 3
SET !DATASOURCE_LINE {{!LOOP}}
SET !ERRORIGNORE YES
SET !TIMEOUT_PAGE 2

URL GOTO=http://kang.com/admin

TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=TXT:Add<SP>New
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT FORM=ID:combatSubmit ATTR=NAME:title CONTENT={{!COL1}}
TAG POS=1 TYPE=TEXTAREA FORM=ID:combatSubmit ATTR=ID:post CONTENT={{!COL2}}
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT FORM=ID:combatSubmit ATTR=ID:submit

ADD !EXTRACT {{!URLCURRENT}}
ADD !EXTRACT {{!COL1}}
ADD !EXTRACT {{!COL2}}
TAG POS=1 TYPE=DIV ATTR=CLASS:updated EXTRACT=TXT
SAVEAS TYPE=EXTRACT FOLDER=* FILE=report.csv

TAG POS=2 TYPE=A ATTR=TXT:Exit

WAIT SECONDS=3

This works perfectly for me.

So, in the example above how do I make the code skip First Website and straight go for the Second Website? I know I can make the first parts of the code a comment and change SET !LOOP from 3 to 2. It works, but I can't do this with 60 websites.

I was thinking..

I have a seperate .csv with URL information:

URL,Name
http://liu.com,LIU.COM
http://kang/admin.com,KANG.COM

And in the code:

SET !DATASOURCE urls.csv

' First Website
SET !LOOP 2
URL GOTO={{!COL1}}

' Second Website
SET !LOOP 3
URL GOTO={{!COL1}}

And somehow make IF col1 = null GOTO COMMAND LINE x, or something! Or just let type in dasjdkaskasdasasdasg.com in col1 and let it run trough, though this would be a timewaster. Does it exist a better solution?

SET !LOOP is also a problem. Is it possible to make the first !SETLOOP 2 and every other that comes next !SETLOOP previous+1

Best regards,

Liu Kang

UPPDATED: Impossible to achive this just by using IIM. Tried long with EVAL to make SETLOOP go up, but this is very limited. See updated comment.

here is code example on

how to import .csv data to Javascript when jQuery is not allowed with iMacros?

var checksubj,scrape;
checksubj =  "CODE:";
checksubj +=  "SET !DATASOURCE example.csv" + "\n"; 
checksubj +=  "SET !DATASOURCE_COLUMNS 1" + "\n"; 
checksubj +=  "SET !DATASOURCE_LINE {{line}}" + "\n";
checksubj +=  "SET !extract {{!col1}}" + "\n";
iimSet("line",1);
iimPlay(checksubj);
scrape=iimGetLastExtract(0);
