Hi,
I'm trialing Automation Anywhere 5.5 with the intention of purchase if it can get data from some sites that I am interested in.
It works for a bunch of them I've already tested but the main one I wanted was savills.co.uk. I've created a new web recorder task, opened
Estate Agents, Residential and Commercial Property, Property Auctions - Savills which is their main page.
Then within the recorder I clicked Farms and Estates under the left hand menu which brings up
Savills - Rural
Then clicked the little picture showing Farms, Land and Estates. I have done it this way because I think the page it loads takes some variables across (going directly to the page that the link points to just drops you back to the select property sector page). So to be safe the test starts with the main page and navigates through from there.
All is good up until this point. Then I try to collect the data from the page using a pattern match. I select one of the Div's that I want - ie. the one that has "TO LET: Low House Stud Hanging Grimston, York, N Yorks" and then select the corresponding pattern of data in the next one down. I save that as Title and go to preview the data.
Unfortunately nothing shows up in the data preview. When I run the test for real it runs OK but doesn't actually produce any data in the CSV file. After hunting around for errors I found "Unable to find (div) control in the web page".
Is there something particularly weird about this site? I guess it's just my luck that the one I wanted does this but the others work fine
If the atmn file would help I can upload that too.
Thanks,
Steven
