Click Text activity the first two -digit number

[NHoe (Norman)]

Hello all,

I have been running a click text activity with a direct value, but this is different. How can I make the bot click on the range of the first contiguous characters.

So far it has clicked on “01” and in the future it should click on the range with the first two-digit number, as the number can be from 01-10

Use Regular expression in your selector to achieve it. Have a look below thread for more information.

It is now possible to use Regular Expressions in your selectors. Follow this guide to learn how! What’s new? We have added extra syntax to the Selector Editor to allow for advanced configuration of your selectors. Let’s begin As an example, I will be creating a selector that will be able to open a file whose name is dynamically changing. Let’s assume I am receiving daily list of bills via email which are saved as a text file named ‘bills mmddyy.txt’, e.g ‘’bills 101019’. Now, I want to writ…

Hi

In your selector check for the attribute that holds the text value you are looking for

In that attribute replace it with this expression
Say for example aaname is holding that value then in aaname attribute mention like this with a attribute called matching

aaname = ‘.*[0-9]+’ matching:aaname=‘Regex’

Hello, thank you for your example. So far I have only determined the click text activity and not the properties before. Is it possible to enter the RegEx directly into the Text field without reading the content first?

@NHoe

RegEx directly into the Text field without reading the content first?

Well I would suggest to use a simple click activity with which indicate on the text first
Then open the selector editor if that click activity and include the above mentioned attribute part

I have tried again but the error remains. Basically it’s a Delphi grid with text in it and the selectors don’t have any text or aaname properties, is that the reason
