0:05 Presenting the UiPath use case
The case is from the UiPath forum, where a series of RPA Challenges where made. You need to use dynamic selectors, because of a changing website (Google search result).

1:16 Build Data Table
We use the Build Data Table activity in Uipath to build our input DataTable.

3:05 Open Browser
We use Internet Explorer (never updated and always on servers) to automate this use case. Specify a URL.

3:58 Type Into
Use the Type Into activity to type in your search. We can use the DelayBetweenKeys to make the solution more robust.

5:02 Navigate to
Navigate back to our start URL (Google) to make the next search.

6:49 Screen Scraping with Get Text
We use the Get Text to scrape our results from Google. The selector is too unique, so we want to make it more generic to make it work for all our searches.

11:25 Write the results back to Excel
We use an Assign, an index variable and a Write Line to write the results back.

Hi Anders,
Great video, I have a doubt, in RE framework example we use transactional data 1 at a time and get the CEO Value, but in the above example, we are just using a "for each row" for the search. Here we can create an index to get the index of that particular row. But in RE framework, we cant create an index. so how do we update data dynamically?

Great video Anderson. But when i tried in chrome it didn't work. Especially get text activity. Then I used get attribute activity and supplied aaname attribute and it worked.
