By: Husan Mahey

Overview of this book

With an increase in the number of organizations deploying RPA solutions, Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is quickly becoming the most desired skill set for both developers starting their career and seasoned professionals. This book will show you how to use Automation Anywhere A2019, one of the leading platforms used widely for RPA. Starting with an introduction to RPA and Automation Anywhere, the book will guide you through the registration, installation, and configuration of the Bot agent and Control Room. With the help of easy-to-follow instructions, you’ll build your first bot and discover how you can automate tasks with Excel, Word, emails, XML, and PDF files. You’ll learn from practical examples based on real-world business scenarios, and gain insights into building more robust and resilient bots, executing external scripts such as VBScripts and Python, and adding error handling routines. By the end of this RPA book, you’ll have developed the skills required to install and configure an RPA platform confidently and have a solid understanding of how to build complex and robust, yet performant, bots.

Summary

Having gone through this walk-through, you have not only gained experience with how to use string manipulation actions but now also have an idea of what sort of scenarios they could be best applied to. To recap, we have covered a number of useful actions, including extracting a specific substring from a string via locations, extracting a substring from a string via specific text, finding a specific substring within a string, replacing parts of a string, converting strings into upper or lowercase, trimming leading/trailing spaces from strings, using regular expressions to find string patterns, splitting strings with a specific delimiter, concatenating strings, creating list variables, looping through list variables, and finally, understanding simple logical conditions.

You are now becoming more experienced with building more complex bots. In the next chapter, we will continue to build on this progress by looking at working with the filesystem. This will include how to move...
