I am processing an order from an eCommerce site. Varying number of Line Items to be read.

I am using the Web Recorder to pick out data from an online order screen. With a varying number of items per order, defining the exact UI's to be processed in the iterating loop is currently problematic. I suppose I could define some kind of static List/array, and could always error out if the UI is not present, but that requires web recording the maximum size order which can fluctuate greatly.

I can't have been the first person to run into this situation. How has it been handled in the past? Thanks for everyone's help!

I run into an IP issue quickly by posting internal invoicing (which includes costing info) publicly. Just think of any invoice with several items on it. Simple format: Item name, including color, size, material, unit of measure, etc, in one UI. next is qty purchased, then cost/each and extended cost. Could be one. two, 15 or 40 lines of this.

If you can get the items into a List type variable in PAD, you can use %List.Count% to count the number of items, and have your loop cap out at that number.

@MichaelAnnis, thanks for the reply. I do that already in several places. The issue is not necessarily how many lines, but what are the UI links in those lines.
