UI.Vision RPA Bug Reports

1

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to pool the title of a book from a site. The English title gets extracted but all other languages like Chinese and Japanese are stored in some symbols → “垂れ込み－警視庁追跡捜査係 （ハルキ文庫）”.

Is it a bug or I am trying with some error.

Please help its frustrating. :frowning:

I used storeText command to extract the title. ↓

{
  "Command": "storeText",
  "Target": "id=itemTitle",
  "Value": "!csvLine"
},

Thanks in advance.

Try to create, before store, the csv file in format UTF-8 (not ANSI), after try to store value.

Default ui vision create csv in ANSI format incompatible with special characters.

Hi, UI.Vision RPA uses Unicode by default, so I am not sure what goes wrong in your case. => Do you have a test macro for me?

In my own test (Firefox and Chrome, Windows 10) all works fine:
