Extracting Data from Dynamic HTML page

Help
1

Hi,

We are using a desktop based application to automate. One of the pages in the application has a table which needs to be extracted or taken a screen shot. This page is a HTML page and the URL dynamically changes. What is the best way to extract the information?.

@mcakannan,

Is data scraping not working, if the page is html page then data scraping should be working and is there any specific reason why the url changes dynamically.

One more thing inside a desktop application why there is a URL

when we run the application, the information is stored in an HTML under c:\temp\a*.html.

  • is a number . example. the file will be c:\temp\a1200.html. Next time when we run it can be a1250.html. Even we tried *.html, it didnt work

Hi @mcakannan,

Once the file is stored in your required path get the files from that path into a array using directory.getFiels(“pathOfTheFiles”), then do the work for each of the file using for each.

let us know if this works if not will think around some other solutions.
