Using If comand with variables

[rlauretta]

Can AA take data from the clipboard (copied from a website) such as:
ROSEMARY ST, APPLE VALLEY, CA 92308-3323, SAN BERNARDINO
and know what it is looking at?

I have to copy all of this text so I need to know if AA can go through the line and pick out what I need (city or zip) to match it against a master list and if the condition is true the script will contnue.

Hello,

Using 'If Variable' command you can check if particular string is included in clipboard and inside If-Endif you can use String Manipulation command to extract the zipcode or city.

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 would search for city, SAN BERNARDINO in system variable, $Clipboard$. If found it would extract the zip code and display it in a message box.

Note: You need Automation Anywhere 5.5 to run this task.

Thanks for for the reply

I don't need to extract the data I just want AA to see that the zip code or city matches against a master list and then " if true" continues running the remaining steps in the script or "if not true" stops.

thanks

Also does 5.5 have features that would make this eaiser?

Hello,

Yes, in that case just use 'If Variable' command to check if $Clipboard$ contains zip code or city of master list. Inside If-Endif block place the commands to execute when condition is true else stop the task. The text format of commands would appear something like this,

1) If $Clipboard$ Includes "92308-3323" Then
//Commands to execute
2) Else
3) Stop The Current Task
4) End If

Hope that helps.
