Welcome to the UIpath Community.

As you said, you are trying to copy the text from remote System. So, use screen scraping method with OCR engines. It will give accurate results.

Hi,

There are two ways to achieve this:
-Use Image Automation
-Use Citrix automation(For this UIPAthRemoteRuntime must be installed on the target remote machine)
The purpose this remote runtime is to convert the remote environment to your native environment and thereafter you can use the get text activity and it will allow you to capture the respective elements with the appropriate selectors.

Hi @Abhilash_Bhima

Welcome to UiPath community buddy
Fine the error is actually because of this, it didnt get copied to the clipboard and it throws error when we try to get the value from clipboard being without any value…

For this kindly enable the property Sendwindowmessage in copy selected text Activity and kindly try with IE instead of chrome if this is performed in a web browser

Hope this would help you
Kindly try and let know for any queries or clarification
Cheers @Abhilash_Bhima
