How to use variables in selectors in Studio (dynamic selectors) without string manipulation!

This tutorial will teach you how to easily use variables in your selectors. In other words, we will be making dynamic selectors without the use of the old method of concatenating strings. How cool is that! For the purpose of this tutorial, I will make 1 click in the Notepad app. Feel free to also reference our documentation here. Let’s begin! 1. First, we will indicate the element we want to click on. In this case, it will be File menu in Notepad: [image] This results in the…

Hello @sarra.meziane1

Is the selector you want to click dynamic? If it is, click first the selector. Then go to “aaname” or “innertext” and change the vaule of this attribute for this → aaname = ‘{{Variable}}’

I hope it helps!

thanks for ure answer, in the selector I have two variable which change each time: “aaname” and “ctrIid”, I created two variable aaname=‘{{variable1}}’ Ctrlid=‘{{variable2}}’, now I want to add the value of Variable1, and variable2 in config file, who cad do this ?

Each time you get the two variables you can use write cell activity. Before writing cell act use:

1. Read range activity – Var_DT
2. Assign activity-- Var_Counter = Var_DT.Rows.Count.ToString
3. Write Cell act – = Variable1 / Cell: A + (Var_Counter +1)

If it is not what you want, it would be better if you could share with us your workflow

Thanks!

You don’t need all these extra variables to assign the Config values to. Just use string concatenation.

"<webctrl aaname='" + Config("somekey").ToString + "' />"

Unfortunately this doesn’t seem to work, although it would be nice if it did:

"<webctrl aaname='{{Config("somekey").ToString}}' />"
