Good Afternoon,
I am fairly new to RPA so please excuse me if this is covered somewhere else, I did do a quick search and couldnt find this issue anywhere else.
When fine tuning selectors within the UI Explorer certain properties are wildcarded at the end of the text.
The issue being that it tends to be the end of the text I need the most (the most unique part of the selector)
This screenshot shows the issue.
I can hover over the property in the explorer (bottom left panel) and copy and type out the exact text, but this is tedious and I shouldn’t need to do this.
Is there an option somewhere or a way around this.
I need the whole selector not the wildcarded version as this brings back duplicates.
That is usual behaviour. If the string is very big it will automatically remove and add * what * means is that there can be anything after that. If you want to change it and wqant the end part only then you can move * to first and add your end part after that which you feel is constant.
Say “This is uipath” is the string. selector will give “This is*” you can modify if you want as “*uipath”
This is just an example. You will see selector giving * only when string is very large
Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
I understand what the wildcard is doing, I just don’t want it to automatically add these.
Without manually typing out the whole string in the selector, is there a way to stop it doing this automatically?
Kind regards
Ben
If thats the case then no its not possible… If you don’t want to type…one thing you can do is to inspect the element on your browser(from developer console) and get the value from the browser and paste it here. but when spied by default it would trim
