Dynamic Selector - Text in Element

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 2

Hey Guys,

 

I’m new to the world of Power Automate Desktop and have recently embarked on pulling together my first project.

 

I’m stuck trying to build a custom selector which clicks on the button of a webpage (actually identified as an Anchor) based up on the a couple of variables.

 

When I got to selector I can see the element name ‘Anchor ‘ 19:10 ‘ -  which contains the name which matches my variable ‘ 19:10 ‘ but when I click on the element, there’s no attribute that contains the data ‘ 19:10 ‘ for me to insert my variable to. 

Having tried to add Name= ‘ 19:10 ‘ or Text= ‘ 19:10 ‘ or Title= ‘ 19:10 ‘ in text editor, all fail.

 

Any advice would be greatly received.

 

thanks

    Activate text editor in the selector window. Then:

    a:contains("19:10")

    or

    a:contains("%Variable%")

    Hi @walking999 

     

    For your Reference:

    a:contains("%time%")

    %time%= 19:20
