Hi, i need to extract a single value from a field everytime i filter something.

Example.

I want to copy the 557617 from Claim Id, when i filter No.1.

I used Get HTML object, and able to copied.

But when i filter No.2, the claim ID changed to 55773, but this time Kryon is not able to copy, it says object not found. Am i using the correct function?

Hi,

 

The reason this happens is because the number 557617 is part of the criteria used to extract text from the right place on the screen. If the number changes, it will no longer work.

 

I can see from your screenshots that you're using an old version of Studio. In the community version 20.3 you are able to more easily edit the selectors used in the HTML commands. In 20.3 you have to disable the match inner text setting for this as shown below:

 

I'd encourage you to use the new version if you can. If you stay with your current version you'll have generate your own jQuery selector where it says "use jQuery selector" in your screenshot to select the right item. Unfortunately, I cannot generate or provide this to you without access to your website.


Hi Darren, can you please try to access this website and generate a sample for me? There is a html table...thanks!

I can generate a sample, but two things first:

 

  1. you'll need to have v20.3 installed before you can open the LWIZ since they are not compatible with v19.1. Can you do this beforehand and let me know when done?
  2. The website you provided doesn't have any filters on the HTML tables. This doesn't represent your scenario as far as I can see?

I can see my version is 5.25, is it a very old version? As any upgrade need to be done by IT which will take times..

 

Any other alternative way?


I'm afraid the only other way is to create your own jQuery selector mentioned previously. 5.25 is around 2 years old at this point. I'd encourage you to go for an upgrade, if possible, to 20.3 - please contact your CSM at Kryon to arrange this.
