Demo-Loop-Csv-2-Web
Demonstrates automatic data entry with the LOOP button: Reads data from a simple text file in CSV format and submits it to a web site.
Please note, that you need to use the "Play (Loop)" button instead of the regular "Play" button, if you want to loop through a CSV file. Also don't forget to set the "Max" text box value to the number of the last line you want to reach in your CSV file.
This demo works with the following page: http://www.iopus.com/imacros/demo/v6/f2/automatic-data-entry.asp
