Shortcut for copying UI element to clipboard

Help Assistant
1

I need to extract a number from a webpage and copy this number to clipboard. I have been doing this manually. If I could create a shortcut I will save some time, and there will be no chance for errors. Can I use UiPath assistant for this? Or maybe Clipboard AI? The number is marked in pink on the wepbage screenshot below:

You Can Use Get Text Activity

Hi @krda

Use Get Text Activity and Store in variable. Then you can use this variable later where you required.

Thank you guys. I was probably not specific enough writing the initial post. What I am trying to do is this: I found two hard drives containing 300 hours with pipe inspection footage. I work with among other things map referencing the sewage system in the municipality. That is like hitting the jackpot in my field of work. The footage is VHS rips form the 80s and 90s but still very relevant today. The movie files are 3 hours long and must be split into shorter segments corresponding to a pipe section. (Usually manhole to manhole). Then the plan is to name these shorter segments with the ID of the pipe section so I can upload them to the database using another automation I am working on. The ID is what I want to copy and was marked purple in my first post.

So I tried this thanks to your advice:

Two problems:

  1. The webpage URL is changing for every selected pipesection. I keep the webpage with our map withe the pipes always open on screen one.

  2. It seems impossible to highlight only the ID-number when using the Get text activity. I assume I can use RegEx to remove “Overvannsledning”, but is there a simpler way? Wanted to screenshot this, but forum rules makes it impossible. Omnlu one svreenshot per post…

The dream scenario would be this:

In my video application losslesscut on screen two when I am labeling my split movie files I want to enter a self defined keyboard shortcut that checks screen one for the UI element (pipe ID), if it`s there copies the value to clipboard an paste it into the “label current segment” prompt in lossless cut.

I have already spent more time on this post than I ever could hope to save on this specific task, but I really wanna learn RPA. So step by step I hope to accomplish more advanced automations later. Thanks so far guys!
