I am new to Uipath and trying to extract data from a textbox in a web application and paste it to another textbox. I tried to use “Get text” and indicate the element on the screen but it didn’t work telling me that it couldn’t find the selector. Also indicating the element in the UI explorer and copying the selector into the Selector region of Get text didn’t work.
I also tried jumping into the textbox with the tab key and copying with ctrl + c but there it tells me that the UI element is no longer valid. Sometimes while doing the Type into tab and sometimes while send hotkeys ctrl + c.
thanks for your help.
Unfortunately this doesn’t work either. I get the error message: “Cannot find the UI element corresponding to this selector”. I tried to indicate the textbox I want to get the text from on the screen.
now i got it. Just needed to replace the selctor that was automatically generated by using the “indicate on screen” function with the one form UI explorer.
