I use Data Scraping to extract datatable from a web page.But I cannot get anything when the HTML tag is textarea.My question is how to use Data Scraping to extract these data.
I know I can get pre data by using “Get Text” activity.But it takes too much time.
I wrote a similar page with the running result, as shown below:
@4Shetia
please share the extract metadata xml from datascrapping config with us. Use the </>
fromat button for this. If the url is public then also share with it.
Have a look here as well:
I upload all file to google.It includes the uipath studio project file and the local web page.
This is the link:Test4textarea
@4Shetia
it looks as it could be a bug or textareas are not handled properly and requires a more deeper analysis.
As an alternate you can go with:
- find children - find all textarea elements under the table - get the value with get attribute or uiElementVar.Get(“innertext”)
- dynamic index
- possible, but not really needed - XML Parsing
Let us know if you need help on implementing an alternate retreival apporach
