iMacros - Extract Text & Set As VAR

I used iMacros to make a script. However, I have an issue with the !EXTRACT option. I try extract the text from the URL http://www.random.org/strings/?num=1&len=12&digits=on&upperalpha=on&unique=on&format=plain&rnd=new.

and set it as a variable (I believe it's {{!EXTRACT}}) so it can be used later in the macro.

I tried to use an extract script made by someone else, but get #EANF# when extracting; I tried to extract using HTML and all text on page.

I was wondering if anybody can help me / guide me in the right direction of extracting all the 12 characters from here, setting it as a variable and allowing me to use it later in the macro.

Just use the TXT option for extract, here is a walk through of a very simple macro.

Example

Go to the random string website:

URL GOTO=http://www.random.org/strings/?num=1&len=12&digits=on&upperalpha=on&unique=on&format=plain&rnd=new

Extract all the text from the first "pre" tag on the page, the value is placed in the EXTRACT variable:

TAG POS=1 TYPE=PRE ATTR=TXT:* EXTRACT=TXT

Show the extracted string to the user in a prompt, reference the value using {{!var_name}}

PROMPT {{!EXTRACT}}
