Hi,

Am currently exporting my codes over to a laptop from a desktop. However, the DATA SCRAPING selector is not extracting the table from the eml. file. After trying to manually re-indicate the table, this error shows therefore resulting in an empty extractedDataTable.

Any help is appreciated, many thanks!

Hi @Browser @Namrata_Butch

Would you be able to provide a file example for this error?

Or maybe even a fresh project with all activity packages up to date that reproduces the issue?

Yes, I have tried in a new project for 2 times. and also I have tried providing different word file but still it results into same issue while data scraping.
I’m unable to attach file as I’m new user.

Thanks for the sample files. I deleted your post as this is a public topic, but they were attached to the ticket that was raised for your issue.

We will come back with updates.

Could you still attach a sample UiPath project of the actions you do with these files?

Hello,

I’m unable to generate code but steps I’m performing is as follows:

1 Open word file
2. Click on Data scraping on the Ribbon
3. Select column in the table → After this step it is giving that error so it is like unable to scrape because of the character and unable to generate code.

PFA where u can see that character after each value.

It is related to formatting when u enable Show all formatting in word this character is visible.

Note:
I’m using the community version of UiPath
Licenced MS Office.
