Hi @Sirisha_Siri ,

Can you elaborate your scenario, is there any condition that you are checking in while loop?

i need to check for 3 elements. I used find element activities and indicated three elements. it has to check for 4 hours.

you could set the time now in a variable e.g. time.now and then do while time.now.addhours(4) is greater than the time now

[Sirisha_Siri]

what should be the datatype for this variable

[aquinn]

you could use it as date.time or as a string and compare the strings

[Sirisha_Siri]

it is displaying date as well

Hello @Sirisha_Siri Follow These steps.
1.Take one Assign activity with Datetime Variable And Pass Value
DateTime.Now.AddHours(4)
2.Take one while loop with Following Condition
DateTime.now.ToString<=DTime.ToString
Where DTime is my DateTime Variable.

You could do time.now.replace(date.today.tostring("dd/MM/yyyy ",string.empty) to just get the time

[Sirisha_Siri]

getting error

[Sirisha_Siri]

how to remove date here. it is displaying date as well

[sb001]

Assign → DateTime.Now.AddHours(4).Tostring(“hh:mm:ss”)
Loop → DateTime.now.ToString(“hh:mm:ss”)<=DTime.ToString

It will only Compare Time.

[Sirisha_Siri]

should we declare varialble as string?

[sb001]

Yes, Sorry forgot to Let you know.
You have to convert variable to String.
