How can I extract the data from the web scraping based on the background color

[kalanazi (p)]

hi,

I have a question,

how can I extract the data from the web scraping based on the background-color

in the picture for example how can I extract only the dates! with the red background? when I tried to scrape the data it’s scraping all the dates.

@kalanazi - one way could be to:
→ view the page source (Ctrl+u) (you can use send hot key)
→ figure out the HTML tags of the dates with a red background - this should be easy to do
→ get the complete page source code into a string variable
→ use reg ex to parse the page source code and get the highlighted dates out

could you show me an example please, I’m beginner in Uipath.

Could you share the page source @kalanazi? You can message me if you don’t want to share code publicly.

we do have following options:

• using css class name / style info while retrieval to collect a marker for the background color:

  • have a look here: [HowTo] Data Scraping - Advanced Configuration - Text Field, Image Source, Url, CSS Classname, Hover text

• reacting on css properties while looping over with a dynamic selector by using this component:
