How to get text from IBM terminal

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hello 

I have been working with internal IBM personal communication. Everything was fine but I got stuck when I need to extract/get some specific text from the terminal. 

 

In my case, the text field (Label) and its text aren't connected. For example: I want to get name: Louis but when I use get text from terminal session what I got is 'name๖' not 'Louis'.  And this happen to all of the data in that terminal page.  So how can I solve this problem to get data I want. (I need a lot of data in that terminal not just 'Name')

    Hi @deerzzxdell 

     

    Are you extracting data from terminal using position or by label ?

    Hello, right now, I'm using get text by specific position. 

     

    For example: I want to get 1111111111 which starts from column 12 and row 3, 111111112 from column 12 row 5 , 111111114 from column 12 row 7 and so on. There are also numbers in next pages which I need to press 'F1' button to go forward.

    Hi @deerzzxdell 

     

    If the text length is fixed, then you can use below option to extract the text from given position

    Also i feel if power automate team can include actions which can extract the text by using start and end coordinates that would be great as well. Hope they include in future updates 🙂
