John Diston Powles


John Diston Powles (c. 1787 –14 September 1867) was an English businessman. In the mid-1820s he was heavily involved in the promotion of South American mining companies, and enlisted a young Benjamin Disraeli to write pamphlets promoting these mines, particularly those in Chile.[1][2] Powles was involved in the creation of the St. John d'el Rey Mining Company in 1830 and served as its first chairman.[3]


Powles died at Elstree in 1867.

Node.js puppeteer - Use values from array in a loop to cycle through pages

Node.js puppeteer - Use values from array in a loop to cycle through pages I'm using node.js and puppeteer to get some data. ... now I want to visit different pages based on inregular values from an array: My array looks like this: rows = [ RowDataPacket id: 1, value: 'L3', name: 'Steve' , RowDataPacket id: 2, value: 'GU', name: 'Peter' , RowDataPacket id: 3, value: 'M5', name: 'John' ] So the pages I want to visit are: await page.goto('url/search?action=getname&name=L3', waitUntil: 'load'); await page.goto('url/search?action=getname&name=GU', waitUntil: 'load'); await page.goto('url/search?action=getname&name=M5', waitUntil: 'load'); The array is actually 200 values long ... so I thought of doing a loop like this: await page.goto('url', waitUntil: 'load'); rows = [ RowDataPacket id: 1, value: 'L3', name: 'Steve' , RowDataPac...
