Opening a file using a wildcard

Hey everyone, I am needing my bot to be able to open a daily file with every file having this type of naming convention: "Filename.YearZeroMonthZeroDay.RandomNumbers" so something like this: ExampleFileName.20200306.8975421 However, because of the random numbers at the end the bot cannot open that daily file. I have variablized the filename like this: Name.[*YEAR][*MONTH_ZERO-FILLED][*DAY_ZERO-FILLED]. I have tried wildcarding the end with * but the File Exist function does not work with wildcards. Is there a way to bypass this or maybe another method i should try? Thanks

Target Window Non-Persistent, Retarget

For practice, I created 100 random contacts, and wrote a script to import them into the "Untitled - Contacts " window in Outlook. I didn't do a lot of testing, it was a scrap practice script. I wanted to run another test today, to find that (after a couple of reboots) etc. that Foxtrot can no longer locate the target window. When I go into details, nothing was maintained. Upon exporting the details to text, they (the details) are encrypted. Is there a way to concrete down finicky windows or a best practice I can use to avoid this? Barring above, is there a quick way to retarget the window without having to recreate all the actions? Thanks,Brandon

Hi, How can I save text from character no. 4 to 10 from a text string with plain text? I tried the function Between, but this will only work with a specific letter or sign. Any ideas?

Send a [^Enter] keystroke before every upper cased letter in a string

Hi, Im dealing with a botflow where Im retriving various types of string values which I am saving into different variables. After I have retrived the text I am going to send it into a Word Document. But when I send it in to Word I want the text to be formatted so every word that starts with a upper cased letter are written on a new line. Which means that I have to enter a Enter keystroke before every Ucased letter. I have tried to solve it with the formula action in various ways but have not manage to figure out a soulution. Example string: Rekrytering Arbetsrätt Arbetsgivarens varumärkning Where I want to seperate the string into the following distribution:RekryteringArbetsrättArbetsgivarens varumärkning Is there a way to solve this problem?  Thanks in advance, Johan

Filetrigger creating two processes

Hello i am having some problems with Foxhub creating two running jobs when a script is startet with a filetrigger. This does not happen every time and i cant seem to find out why this happens, hens the post. The flow is this: A user in the office opens an excelsheet, fills in the information and hits a button in the sheet, which saves the file in the filetrigger location.  This will activate Foxhub, and it moves the excel sheet to the output folder and the script starts up. But sometimes Foxhub creates two running jobs even tho there is only one file in triggerlocation. In the attached immage i have paused the two running jobs (which should only be one)   What is going on here, am i doing something wrong?   Best regards

Publishing Botflow Popup not allowing Ok to be selected

Background: I am trialling Foxtrot in order to compare with the software my company currently uses for RPA, and in order to do so I wish to try out running processes through Foxhub. I am currently running version 15.1.1. So I previously posted about having trouble publishing botflows as there was no publish button in my foxtrot version - that is now solved, updating to 15.1.1 fixed that issue. However, now when I click the publish link and the popup appears, when I click the OK button nothing happens. The cancel and X buttons still work, its just the ok button that isn't working. I have tried leaving it for 10 minutes after clicking the OK button, incase there was a delay, but still nothing.I have also tried with a different file, and after restarting my machine, all with no result. I would appreciate help with this. Thanks, Caitlin

Trouble Publishing Botflows in order to use Foxhub

Background: I am trialling Foxtrot in order to compare with the software my company currently uses for RPA, and in order to do so I wish to try out running processes through Foxhub. I am currently running version 15.0.1.   However, when I try to add a job in Foxhub, it tells me I cannot add the process file as it is not published, yet I cannot find where to publish my process in Foxtrot.   I would appreciate guidance on this.

The licenses at the specified License Path cannot be managed from this machine.

We currently have a trial license on the server that has expired.  I need to remove that license and add our contracted license, but the subject message is preventing me from doing anything.   Please point me in the right direction...

Foxtrot Support for Azure SQL

I'm using the Open SQL function of Foxtrot RPA and I'm noticing it cannot detect Tables in SQL Azure. It doesn't let me either select a table, nor does a SELECT [Field] FROM [Table] command work as it reports that [Table] is an invalid object. Will support for SQL Azure be coming in the near future? I checked the roadmap, but did not see anything relevant. Version number is 15.0.1.  Screen shots below.

v15.0.3 - script works in Foxtrot but halts in Foxhub.

Hi, I have installed Foxtrot and Foxhub on the same computer - both versions are 15.0.3 (yet recently upgraded from 14.6.1). I have a botflow that runs without any issues if run through Foxtrot, but if I schedule it to be run by Foxhub it just halts completely. In the botflow I have a rather simple step that clicks a button with an exact match on the text 'Log In'; if the botflow is run using the Foxtrot client it clicks the button as expected, but if run via Foxhub as a scheduled job it just halts completely without an error message. If I force run the step it has the samme (lack of) effect. This botflow has been running succesfully for quite a while in Foxhub as a scheduled job using version 14.6.1. For the sake of good order I deleted the RPA-document and the Foxhub-job and recreated both to ensure that it wasn't a faulty one-off file conversion issue. Any ideas as to what causes this? Let me know what further information is necessary in order to pinpoint the cause of this issue. Br

v15.0.1 FoxHub Triggering - BotFlow completes, but not really......

I have installed v15.0.1 and am testing all my scripts after converting to new .rpa versions.  I have 4 triggers set up in v14.6.2 which work flawlessly.  In testing these 4 triggers in 15.0.1, I notice that a BotFlow will complete and close, but does NOT change to a status of "completed" in the RUNNING queue of FoxHub.  If I simply right-click to stop the BotFlow in the RUNNING queue and then delete it, it does NOT actually delete it and it continues to run in the background.  I have to go to Task Manager to end it.  This does not happen every time, but I cannot identify any pattern for the inconsistency.  Has anyone else experienced this issue with v15.0.1?Additionally, I see on Foxtrot Alliance that v15.0.2 is already out.  When will that be available for U.S. customers and will that version possibly fix this issue?Thank you,Brian

Differences in programming for scripts started via Foxhub

We've recently gotten access to Foxhub & Foxbots and I was working to try to schedule an existing script for launch via Foxhub. The script launched with no difficulty. The problem is, I have a start up/log in task and then a task that goes through the repetitive actions. The Startup task ends with a "Run Task" command. When the program launched from Foxhub, the startup task ran over and over, rather than kicking over to the repetitive task. How do you work around this?

Password generation using specific application requirements

I know that Foxtrot has the ability to generate a password and update the credentials.  The issue I have run into is what if the emulator I'm using has strict rules on the password.  Example, only certain characters can be used, #$%*, and the max length is 10 characters.  Yes, I could use an excel document with pre-filled out passwords and tell it to go down the line, but that is not secure.  Has anyone run into an issue with this, and if so how did you program to get around it?  Any assitance would be greatly appreciated. Kyle
