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.

Chapter 9: Working with Conditional Logic, Loops, and the Filesystem

In the previous chapter, you discovered how to manage string manipulation in a number of ways. We examined the Strings package and went through actions such as Split, Substring, Assign, and Find, to name a few. All of these are very useful actions. We also applied a simple If statement, as well as a loop.

In this chapter, we will continue expanding our knowledge of Automation Anywhere packages and actions. We will look deeper into building loops and the different types of looping Automation Anywhere offers. We will also look at the functionality of the filesystem, which includes moving, deleting, and renaming files and folders. This chapter will also look at the different types of logical conditions available and how to apply these.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Applying different types of loops
  • Applying logical conditions
  • Working with the filesystem
