Skip first child using Find Children activity

Help
1

Hi all!

I’m using Find Children activity to get all the elementes inside a Table. The problem is that I want to skip the first one. I mean, I have something like this:

<table>
**<TR>Level I want to Skip</TR>**
<TR>level 2 ok</tr>
<TR>level 3 ok</tr>
<TR>level 4 ok</tr>
<TR>level 5 ok</tr>
</table>

How can I do this?

Regards

from find children activity you will get an element Array.
consider that the array variable is elements you can skip 1st item by using elements.Skip(1)

I have a question. It’s possible to incremente the skip element? I mean this:

For each Child in Children.element(Counter)
Actions...
Assign:
Counter = Counter +8

With this i want to indicate to look in the child Counter+8. I’m doing this but my skip action doesn’t take the value of the assign activity.

you increment the counter in for each activity. for each is differ from for loop. you can try this with while or do… while loop

Do you have any example using these functions in UiPath? I’ll apreciate them.

Thanks

When I tried to do the same that i’m doing with for each but with Do While activity i get this error:

So what i tried was converting it into string and pasting it as selector like the following:
ClickActivity

Everything was fine but when I test it, the following error appear:

Child. Selector. ToString

Make sure that child variable data type is uipath.Core.uielement

I’ve just did that but now i get the error: The selector is not valid
