Default Complex Question

Complex Question,

Is there a way to extract Specific Text and Specific Links/URL's from a web page, without having to physically go to and load the page in your browser.

It's laborious and time consuming when you have a lot of data to extract.

I've been using the [download file] command to download the web page to a .txt file which is fast. But it arrives in a messy informal code (See Below) littered with Commas and Tabs which make it impossible to extract the desired URL's and data using the [string manipulation] command.

Kind Regards

Hello Kass,

Using VB script we can actually get the urls and any text without having to manually open the browser pages. You can export the urls and required data extracted in text, csv, word or excel file and that’s the fastest method too. Using 'Run Script' command you can call this VB script from Automation Anywhere task.

If you can give us your contact number then we can call you to help you explain the solution. Alternatively, you can reach us at following numbers

International: +1-408-834-7676 X 3

You can email us your number at Automation Anywhere - Open A Support Case
