# Get Tree Node Text

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 extract the text from a specific node in the tree structure and save the result in the dynamic variable.

###  Syntax

**Input Value:** `<Path1>; <Path2>;…;<PathN>;<>;<ColNum/Name>(optional);<ColVal>(optional);<>;<Item in Node>(optional)`

{% hint style="warning" %}
***Note:** To skip an optional input value, use an extra semicolon (;).*
{% endhint %}

| 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 blank.</p><p><em><strong>Note:</strong> This is used when optional values are provided.</em></p> |
| \<ColNum/Name>(Optional)                  | Enter the column number or name if the tree node is part of a grid structure.                                  |
| \<ColVal>(Optional)                       | Provide the value of the specified column                                                                      |

| \<Item in Node>(Optional)                 | Specify the text or item within the node                                                                       |

| ----------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| \<Dynamic Variable>(Required) | This variable holds the text of the selected tree node.                    |
| \<Dynamic Variable>(Optional) | This dynamic variable holds the execution status as **True** or **False**. |

**Example 1**\
\
**Fetches text from a specific tree node in the SAP GUI**

The **GetTreeNodeText** action takes the node path from the Input Value column **(e.g., Workbench Demos;Controls;Tree Controls;SAP Column Tree)** and retrieves the text from that node **(e.g., SAP Column Tree**). The extracted text is stored in the **{Tree Node Text}** variable.

**Example 2**

The **Get Tree Node Text** action takes the node path from the Input Value column **(e.g., Workbench Demos;Controls;Tree Controls;SAP Column Tree;<>;Demonstration;SAP Column Tree;<>;Demonstration)** and retrieves the text from the specified node. The extracted text is stored in the **{Tree Node Text}** variable.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.avoautomation.com/avo-assure/actions/sap/tree-control-operations/get-tree-node-text.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
