Example: Fetching Visible Text from a UI Element
In this example, we explain how to retrieve the visible text from a captured UI element using the Get Text of Element action.
Action: Get Text of Element
Input Value: N/A
This action does not require any input value. It extracts the visible text from the specified element on the application.
Output Value: {Get Text}
The retrieve text (e.g., Click the button!) is stores in this {Get Text} dynamic variable.
If a second output variable is provided, the action returns the status as True or False:
True: If the text is retrieved successfully.
False: If the text is not retrieved successfully.
Logical Explanation: The Get Text of Element action does not require any input value. It identifies the target element and fetches its visible text content. The text (Click the button!) is stored in the {Get Text} variable.
