Navigating Through a Site

[smsysengineering]

In navigating through a site that has many links, what is the best/easiest strategy for doing so?

Do I have to copy the name of each link into a variable or a file to read from? Is there an easier route?

I'm a beginner here, so I would be very thankful if you could provide me with instructions.

Thank you,

Hello,

You can use 'Extract Table' command of Web Recorder to store all the links in a table into csv file. Then use 'Loop for each row in Internet Explorer table' command to fetch all the link names row wise.

For your reference, we have attached a sample task. Please copy it under location, 'C:\...\My Documents\Automation Anywhere\Automation Anywhere\My Tasks' folder.

This task will browse through all the online samples on Tethys website one by one. Table on webpage has two columns Task number and Task name. In each iteration task will click on respective task name link, extract the description into excel then will come back to the page having list of tasks.

In that way task will browse through all the sample task links.

If you could send us URL of website, we would be able to help you more with specific task.

Another option is to use "Find Broken Links" command in web recorder. It will generate list of all URLs in a given website.
