downloading data from website with internet explorer

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 294

Hello,

i am new in PAD,

i would like to automate a process that download data from website accessible only from Internet Explorer.

 

The process is the following:

 

1) Navigate in the site

 

2) Click on items to open single folder of each item, and then click with left button on "Download"

 

The numbers of item is variable but the last item is called ever the same "Technical data", and can be used to stop the cycle of downloading

 

3)Save documents downloaded in a local folder each with a name of single item, previous created.

 

I am thinking to proceed as following actions:

 

Click on web page

Obtain details of web page

Divide text 

Count Numbers of rows

Start a cycle n times (With numbers of rows)

 

 

Everyone can help me with this flow to indicate me the better way ?

 

Thank you

    Well, this highly depends on the structure of the website. If the download links are "obvious", then you can simply loop through all specific download links by number and click, until there is an error/end.

    Hello @fraenK , thank you for your answer,

    the download links are not obvious.

     

    For the step of count rows of a subtext, can you help me ?

     

    Thank you

    Split the subtext by new line and then count the elements in the output list: %TextList.Count%
