Hi all, i would like to extract some data from a site without using Scraping methods, i am using get text activity to extract single data but how to use it in a loop?
have a look on working with e.g. find children
Hi @Jai_Pande
If the data structure is similar, you can use the Extract datatable activity.
Second one, you can use the For each Ui element activity to scrap the pattern data.
Third one, you can use the Find Children activity.
If possible, share the screenshot of data if it is not confidential.
Hope it helps!!
@mkankatala actually it is confidential, its not a table its just random names of items

Okay @Jai_Pande
Try using the above 3 methods max of times extract datatable and find children will work.
If you have any queries feel free to post here.
@ppr i want to extract price
@mkankatala i am confused actually how to progress
@mkankatala can i schedule a teams meet if its okay by you?
@ppr Please Elaborate ?
Similar to
Setting the Selector of the find children to a appropriate root element
would use the filter
"<webctrl tag='P' class='price_color' />"
And setting
Assign Activity
arrPrices =
FindChildrenOutVar.Select(Function (x) x.Get("innertext").toString.Trim).ToArray

@ppr okay but how we can use it to search the other product prices as well? , when i am using price colour its showing only price colour and not the amount
this is what find children is doing. We use it for grabbing similar elements by a filter
looks like a
- wrong configuration of the find children settings
- general implementation issues
- a different element structure
With the limited knowledge derived from the above screenshots and not knowing what was modelled in detail we can only give general feedback
need to scrape only the product prices out of every books please help now
@ppr but i have to do without data scaping please help me its my task
We recommend the following to avoid the heavy ping-pongs
Explore for the general learning purposes:
- find children more in detail
- datascrapping with the table extraction
- as For each ui … is a table extraction derivat optional also explore
