Hi all,

I would like to extract both text and url from a UiPath website. However, table extraction not working in this case. It extracts only raw data.

Please find the attached image. Can anyone help me how to achieve this.

Is there a reason you want to use the table extraction instead of the get text activity?

3

Do you mean the text and the URL of the website, or do you mean the text and the hyperlink of the blue words?

4

might be better to extract

  • text: with get text / get attribute - text attribute
  • url: with find children / get attribute - inner html attribute and html parsing on a element

Hi @Sailaja_Pasupuleti

When you are scrapping using Table Extraction. After scrapping a Value.
Hovering on the column, you will see a icon marked as below, by clicking on it, it will ask for the option to extract URL, click on it and it will work.

Hi @Sailaja_Pasupuleti,

I have created a workflow that extract the hyperlinks from the text field. Please find the attached workflow.

Step To Follow:

  1. Use Find Element activity to scrape the UI Element.

  2. Get the Found Element property from Find Element activity
