Extract text from window

Hi 🙂

I am experiencing af problem with extracting text from a window. I extract from a window and directly into a variable, however there seems to be a character limit on approx. 255. The extraction works every time, however not getting all the text from field with large text pieces.

 

I have made a work-around selecting the text, copying and taking it from clipboard to a variable and that works, however it is not as "clean" as a direct extract. It also increases the risk when sending keys and so on.

 

Can anyone help me understand the limitation? Apparently the variables can hold very large pieces of text, but something goes wrong with the extraction.

 

Thx in advance!
