In the above picture aaname varies with amp; while using click it is failing because of that.
In selector aaname= they used a variable, can someone help on this?

@govindreddy_nagireddy

Instead of & did you try with wild card star(*)

cheers

How can we use wildcards because aaname= in this way it is there

6

Aaname=variable

@govindreddy_nagireddy

okay now I guess I got it…You need to use performatted text option to show selectors in the comments here…but that is fine so try like this. Say the variable is str

str.Replace("&","&") this will replace & with & if found

cheers

Welcome to UiPath community…!

You can pass variables as a dynamic variables to the selector. Check the below video.

Yes if it finds & it will replace else it will just move forward to next step without replacing anything

Hi @govindreddy_nagireddy

As alternative solution, you can use regex in selector to selector be more flexible:

<webctrl tag='SPAN' aaname='aprepitant oral 80 &amp|&\s 125 mg' casesensitive:aaname='false' matching:aaname='regex' />
