# Get Tree Node Count

This is a pre-built action available under the **Captured Tree Element** from the **SAP GUI Application**. The functionality of this action in Avo Assure is to retrieve the number of nodes under a specific tree and save the result in the dynamic variable.  

### Syntax

**Input Value:** `<Path1>;<Path2>;…;<PathN>;<>;<ColumnData>(optional)>`&#x20;

| Argument                                | Description                                                                                                    |
| --------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| \<Path1>;\<Path2>;…;\<PathN> (Required) | Provide the hierarchical path of the tree node, with each level separated by a semicolon.                      |
| <> (Optional)                           | <p>Leave this as blank.<br><em><strong>Note:</strong> This is used when optional values are provided.</em></p> |
| \<ColumnData> (Optional)                | Enter the column data value.                                                                                   |

**Output Value**&#x20;

| Argument                       | Description                                                                |
| ------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| \<Dynamic Variable> (Required) | This variable holds the count of nodes under the specified tree.           |
| \<Dynamic Variable> (Optional) | This dynamic variable holds the execution status as **True** or **False**  |

**Example 1**\
**Fetches the number of child nodes for the specified tree node path.**

The **GetTreeNodeCount** action takes the node path from the Input Value column **(e.g., Workbench Demos;Controls)** and retrieves the count of child nodes under that path. The result is stored in the **{TreeCount}** variable.

**Example 2**\
**Fetches the number of child nodes under a specified tree node in the SAP GUI**

The **Get Tree Node Count** action takes the node path from the Input Value column **(e.g., Workbench Demos;Controls;<>;Controls)** and retrieves the number of child nodes under the specified node.\
The count is stored in the **{TreeCount}** variable.
