Using wildcards in an 'Click text' activity

Dear UiPath forum members,

For SAP automation I need to use the ‘click text’ activity. However, I need to use wildcard for this because not everything is known.

The format is:

2500-??-?2???-???-???

Only the first four digits (2500) and the string with the 2 (can either be 1??? or ??3??? or 1?3??? etc.) are known and vary every process.

How can I use wildcards in a click text activity?

Sincerley,
Robert

I would try to read text from the screen (for example Get Full Text activity or sometimes you can save entire screen in SAP to text file - save local file), then use Regex to find your exact text that needs to be clicked. When you have entire text you can use click text activity.

Good idea, can you please help me with the Regex?

You can check this topic:

https://forum.uipath.com/t/how-to-use-matches-to-extract-values-using-regex/4687

For example 2500-11-12111-111-111

this is the format you need to validate???

Regex format \b\d{4}\b-\b\d{2}\b-\b\d{5}\b-\b\d{3}\b-\b\d{3}\b
