Question Extract table problems- comma in data

I'm trying to extract a table on a website. Right now I have it set to append to a CSV file. The problem is the table contains commas within the data which throws off the CSV file.

Does anyone know an alternate method or a way to not collect commas within the table?

Hello,

Is it possible for you to provide URL of website and steps to automate the data extraction process so we can create a sample as per the requirement?

Alternatively, please submit a support case from Automation Anywhere - Open A Support Case

Hope that helps.

There are a number of possible solutions:

1 - Use an If statement within the loop to check for commas. If the comma exists you can potentially use string manipulation to remove.

2 - Place quotes around all the extracted values

3 - Use the loop to write the data in Excel and save as .CSV later

as forumsupport said we would need more detail about the URL.
