Default Data entry and extraction on dynamic data.

I'm working on a project which includes grabbing data on a dynamic page. It seems that the software only allows me to utilize the webcontrol features when typing in a static page. I tried pushing F12 for this, but it appears that we can't use variables for this.

Essentially, what I'm trying to do is to grab a certain data from different URLs, all following a certain pattern. I thought I'd be able to define the process by the use of variables, but that's not possible in this process. Any ideas?

Hello,

The mentioned task can certainly be automated using Automation Anywhere.

If layout of webpage is same then Web recorder will take care of changing parameters in a URL. You just have to record the task once, if you want to run the same task with different parameters then make use of variables in place of a fixed value and run the task. Web Recorder will take care of dynamic URL.

If you can provide URL of website and steps to extract the data, we can create sample as per the requirement.

Hope that helps.
