How to get current page's URL + how can I apply regex to a given variable

UI.Vision RPA HowTo
1
  1. I am trying to get the current page’s URL with the following code:

{


  "Name": "TEST",
  "CreationDate": "2020-8-23",
  "Commands": [
    {
      "Command": "store",
      "Target": "${!URL}",
      "Value": "current_url"
    }
  ]
}

It throws an error

2020-08-23_15h46_08
2020-08-23_15h46_08694×759 29.8 KB

It says “Internal variable “!URL” not supported”. I’ve tried searching through this forum but not finding the right solution.

  1. After getting that URL I want to apply a regex to it:

current_url.regex("/.com/(\w+)/")

Is there any way to apply a regex to an existing variable? I’m not finding any way to achieve this. All ways of applying the regex is on the source code.

Can someone please help me out with this?

To use command ${!URL} you must load before the url, after it works.

I use alternative solution to save current url in any time

{
  "Name": "Save_Current_Url",
  "CreationDate": "2020-8-23",
  "Commands": [
    {
      "Command": "executeScript",
      "Target": "return (window.location.href)",
      "Value": "executeScript_Sandbox_result"
    },
    {
      "Command": "echo",
      "Target": "${executeScript_Sandbox_result}",
      "Value": ""
    }
  ]
}

I want to use this script for Pinterest, but Pinterest blocks executeScript. How could I use it with executeScript_Sandbox? @newuserkantu @admin @ulrich

If executeScript_Sandbox is blocked then you will need to load the website in the tab first, such as executing open, then accessing !URL will work.
