Could 'Click UI element in Window' be made dynamic?

Posted on by AshutoshDekatey

I have file 'A' in folder. 'Click UI Element in Window' clicks on the file and opens it, in two steps. It then performs actions relating to file and deletes the file 'A'.

Now the loop pastes file 'B' in folder. The 'Click UI Element in Window' which worked for file 'A' no longer works for file B. Could something be done to perform the same action for file named 'B'.

The names of the files 'A' and 'B' are based on prices which are the exact same as prices in excel which is stored in variable 'Actual'.
Say the name of file is '21000', it will perform the action, but when the loop brings over the file named '17000' the actions will fail.

Do you really need to click on the file icon? Can you perhaps use Run application and provide the file path, so that the file is opened in the default app? It should be the same as double-clicking the file in the folder. And you can provide the file name as a variable into the file path.

Hi there,

did you manage to get the "Click UI Element" actions to work dynamically in a loop? I'm facing the same challenge
