Using Send keys - All text character not populating in text field-web filling form

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 2

I'm reading data from Excel and passing the cell value through send keys which has 1000 characters, but it filled only 499 characters and truncating the complete textual content. Any limitation in using the send key with limited characters? or is there is any alternative way to handle?

    Hi,

     

    First, there is no limitation for that here. If you have action Set Variable to store your text or your text is stored in a variable, then it won't work if the text has a break line(see my images). So, when using Send keys, if your texts contain a break line then it will be known as Enter key and PAD will send Enter Key at this position and it will be break your text so that it will truncate here.

    Second, when filling data into Web form and the text is so long, you should better use Populate text field on Web page.  It will work fine for your long text.

    Thanks and hope it can help you.
