Hello Everyone,

I'm trying to extract data from a table in a web page. The text that I want to extract changes on daily basis. How can we extract data from a dynamic selectors.

Is there any way we can use wild cards just like we use in uipath to make the selector dynamic.

Here is the image of the selector, I'm trying to extract the number 1519 and as the number is not stable and changes on daily basis I want to replace the number with wildcard.

Any leads or help is much appreciated.

Hi Nived,

Thank you for the solution. Now the bot is not throwing the unable to find the ui element exception. However no data is being extracted when I use regex. but If the value of the text is left as it is then I'm able to extract it.

Uh guys, just untick the "Text" box, that way it will always get the text via a "Get details of element on webpage" since the ID value is what determines what cell it needs to extract from, this will always extract text from that cell.

Unless I've misunderstood something?
