Getting Web Information

Post by flying11 »

Hi There
I have just downloaded your software and am impressed by what I see so far.
I have a question regarding extracting info from web pages. I want to pass a url that shows prices - not problem here!, however how can I get access to the information on the web page (i.e the equivalent of doing a select all----> copy) which I can then manipulate via a file as I cannot sync the web site starting (takes maybe 5 -15 secs) with the sendkeys command - synch issue.  ----- Question 1
Secondly is there anyway to click on a web link on a web page and is there an easier way to get the info from the page?
Many Thanks

In order to copy page content into clipboard you must guarantee that page has been downloaded. Unfortunately you can't receive event of ending of page downloading now. In future we plan to create a plugin for RoboTask which allows you to control documents in web browser.
To click on web link you can use a "Mouse Click" action (coming soon) . But it is very unreliable method for web pages, because coordinates of weblink depends of many factors.
