Posted on by laclws

How do I find out the name of the header for the virtual table created from the web page data extraction?

after data extraction, in the right panel under flow variable, I checked that the header name for each column is value #1 and value #2

I want to compare the title and url of the latest extraction with the last one

I have tried name like column1/column 2 and text/href but the flow say that the property is not recognized.

Can someone help me?

Thank you

You can get all the column names in to a list variable with %ExtractedSOPList.Columns%
Like so:

Also if the %CurrentSOP% and %OldSOP% are both datarow types as I would imagine then you can also reference the column by its index. So 0 would be first column (value #1) and 1 would be second column (value #2). So try %CurrentSOP[0]% eq %OldSOP[0]%

If you need to check if the the tables have same values in the first column then you can retrieve the columns to be list and compare them to each other. This way you don't need to loop each row one by one if you just want to know if they are identical or not.

If you are still having trouble please share screenshots of the flow so we can see more actions and if there is some mistakes in the logic.

Hi,

As @eetuRobo mentioned

You can pass via index number %CurrentSOP[0]% eq %OldSOP[0]%

Thank you eetuRobo and Riyaz_riz11 I managed to call out the data using the number 0 and 1 as the column header name. Really appreciate it.
