Windows Can Be Variables Too?

This makes it easier to identify the data while also speeding things up as memory allocation happens according to the “container” it is assigned to. Data isn’t…
AA: Scraping Data Off The Bot Store (Part-III)
Congratulations, you have made it to the last installation of our data scraping series!

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…

Lets Talk About Houses Lists provide their tenants with full access. They can occupy any room they please, at any given time but their…
AA: Try-Catch-Finally, What Exactly?
Welcome to The Coding Theory’s first article on Automation Anywhere! I have written several drafts based on the solutions I have provided on the AA Forum, which no one seems to give a hoot about. It didn’t gain as much traction as I thought it would, so I brought it up here, onto my blog which…
