AA: Extracting Tables That Aren’t Tables(Part-I)
In the vast uncharted waters of the Internet, there exists a special breed of web tables which possess all characteristics of a table, except that it stem from different ancestral HTML roots. Automation Anywhere recognizes them, but records them under a CLIENT control, and it pisses the living daylights out of me whenever that happens….
Browser Migration Using Regex. Yes, You Read That Correctly(Part-I)
Regular Expressions are a life saver, especially when dealing with complex pattern recognition. Once you become proficient at crafting regex patterns (or proficient enough to google the right patterns), you can slowly become creative with it.

Windows Can Be Variables Too?

AA: Scraping Data Off The Bot Store (Part-II)
In last week’s post, we developed the navigation…well most of it. Where Did We Go Wrong This Time? Nowhere. We are on the right track and only have to include one more condition into the Loop: While Action, to ensure it works as expected. I didn’t include this in the previous post as it breached the…
Believe me When I Say This LINQ Is “Complex”(Part-I)
LINQ is complex enough by itself, which is why I decided to kick it up a notch and torture you with some more. Pain and suffering are the catalyst for success, and I use this platitude each time to gaslight people when they ask me why I like spending hours in front of an illuminated…
