How To Download File in front of List of expressions

Dears,

How To Download File in front of List of expressions as shown from below List , where I need to copy text from 1st Icon ( Clipboard icon to the left) and Download the file just in front of that black icon ( to the right ).

I’m using workflow to scrap all the table and use for each item in English expressions do , What to use as activities in Do Activity ?

Thanks in advance

Use click activity with relative selector and pass the name(“thanks for not telling tom”) dynamically in the selector.

Hi @hsendel !

We will work together using selectors method to see if it helps :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

First, to help you further, we would need you to do the following steps:

  1. Open UiExplorer this way, then click on “Indicate Element”:
  2. Once you’ve hit the button, you’ll need to indicate the first element:

    To know if the bot is able to recognize every element on your page, you’ll notice that everytime you hover on an element of your page, the bot makes it blue:

  3. Once you’ve indicated the element, you’ll be back to this page. We’ll need you to attach a screenshot of UiExplorer, knowing that the data we need to help you is on the right:
  4. Hit again on “Indicate element”, and this time indicate the 2nd row at the same logo:
  5. Send us the 2 results of UiExplorer, keeping in mind that we need to see the data on the right

Let us know if the indications are unclear, or if you encounter any problem during the process :grin:

Hi Again,
I just see that you’ve provided steps to extract those data too, good, this is solved, now need to “Click” on White icon than Click on the black one to download the desired file for a given expression to the left .

Ok, gonna start working on it tomorrow (thursday).
So we need to click on both the elements (1 & 2) right ? Until the last page ? (6128)

→ EDIT: do you need to stock the expressions somewhere ? (excel file, text file, word file)

Hi @Hiba_B Thanks for prompt feedback
I’m able to store the same in excel sheet, just by using Write Data and as Input I use Datatable : ExtractedData generated from previous step.
Yes, My Query is to Click on (1) to copy the content and I will use it to name the file that will be downloaded from (2) … Something like that…At the end I will get a list of Audio files that have names as the expression to the left. Got it ?

Once you follow the steps I’ve given earlier (about UiExplorer), if you check all the checkboxes, you need to compare the buttons to see if there is a logic behind:

Line 4:
<html app='chrome.exe' title='Phrases en anglais avec enregistrement sonore — Tatoeba' />
<webctrl css-selector='body&gt;div&gt;div&gt;div&gt;section&gt;md-content&gt;div&gt;div&gt;div&gt;div&gt;svg' 
parentid='translation_3204100_' 
tag='svg' 
isleaf='0' 
parentclass='copy-btn' 
title='Phrases en anglais avec enregistrement sonore — Tatoeba' />

Line 3:
<html app='chrome.exe' 
title='Phrases en anglais avec enregistrement sonore — Tatoeba' />
<webctrl css-selector='body&gt;div&gt;div&gt;div&gt;section&gt;md-content&gt;div&gt;div&gt;div&gt;div&gt;svg&gt;use' 
parentid='translation_3204089_' 
tag='use' 
isleaf='1' 
parentclass='copy-btn' 
title='Phrases en anglais avec enregistrement sonore — Tatoeba' />

Line 2:
<html app='chrome.exe' title='Phrases en anglais avec enregistrement sonore — Tatoeba' />
<webctrl css-selector='body&gt;div&gt;div&gt;div&gt;section&gt;md-content&gt;div&gt;div&gt;div&gt;div&gt;svg&gt;use' 
parentid='translation_3204088_' 
tag='use' 
isleaf='1' 
parentclass='copy-btn' />

Line 1:
<html app='chrome.exe' title='Phrases en anglais avec enregistrement sonore — Tatoeba' />
<webctrl css-selector='body&gt;div&gt;div&gt;div&gt;section&gt;md-content&gt;div&gt;div&gt;div&gt;div&gt;svg' 
tag='svg' isleaf='0' 
parentclass='copy-btn' 
parentid='translation_3204087_' 
title='Phrases en anglais avec enregistrement sonore — Tatoeba' />

We notice for instance for the button image that two elements indicates it: parentclass and parentid. And parentid starts at the 1st line at the form of ‘translation_3204087_’ then increase its number for each row.
So if you want to click on the 1st copy button, you need to do the following:


Note that copy_btn_selector is a string, and number_of_row is an Int32.

You’ll need to look for the same logic for the button image

Let us know if you need more indication for your workflow.

Happy automation :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Well explained @Hiba_B , especially when introducing those 2 Parameters : parentclass and parentid to be able to identify each line,

But my question is : How to be able to extract the total list and export it to excel ( as I did before), at the same time we download those files using for each activity ?

For example, Do we need to extract all “number_of_row” items ( during Data Scraping) than based on this, we use “For Each” activity to Copy&Download all files , or we do something else ?

Thanks in Advance

Usually to extract the whole list, I’d use Data Scraping: ![image|75x93]
When you got the error, what was the page ? We might use several datascraping to do it. Do you confirm that when you tried Data Scraping, you put MaxOfResults to -1 ?

If we try to bypass it and use artisanal way, I’d way to use UiExplorer and find the interesting tags to keep.
Once done, I would calculate the number of results per page (here 99).
Then I would use a while loop. We know that we have 99 lines per page, and we know that we have 6130 pages, so I use an index put to number_of_row, out of the while condition, and for the while condition I’d say while number_of_row <= 3204087 + 99 * 6130.
Then inside the while I’d put an add datarow to a clean datatable (that has only 1 column) followed by a get attribute (and that attribute willl take the expressions, then an assign that puts the expression in the datatable, then click on audio with the fabricated selector

I don’t know if I pictured it well ^^’
Let us know if you need more info or ideas

Thanks @Hiba_B Sounds very interesting i will check deeply and let you know.

->Edit : I see one issue here what if those numbers are changing: number of lines in a page and number of pages?, Is the method using UiExplorer still applicable here?

Also number_of_row will for sure not attending this value = 3204087 + 99 * 6130., because generaly the 6130th page is not full.

Hi @hsendel,

@Hiba_B has already helped you clear your doubts.

I remember from one of the challeges there was a nice way of downloading files: Advent Challenge #3 - #7 by SamiKiran

Study the cool solution from @Anna_Maziarz

In your case, you need to first get the url attribute from that file like icon and then use the approach from @Anna_Maziarz

Thanks a lot @jeevith , I learn from you too a lot in the past :slight_smile:

By the way is there any special link in this forum where I can find all those challenges, I remember you shared one some months ago regarding iterations.

Hi,

Forum is a great place to learn. It is just plain fun.

Yes @AndersJensen had ensured the challenges were traceable. Here is the link to all Advent 2020 challenges:

Hi @hsendel !

Here is a suggestion: Click_on_language_buttons.xaml (36.8 KB)

Let us know if it does not work as expected :wink:
I only tried it on 2 pages and 3 audios for each page, but if it works with 2 it should work with 6132 pages
