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.

Executing XPath functions

For those of you who use XPath functions, we will be running a simple XPath function in this walk-through. We want to know how many records are in our sample XML file. To get this information, we can run the count(//book) XPath function. We will also need a variable to assign the results of our function. All the results that are returned from an XPath function are saved as a string. In this walk-through, you will learn how easy it is to run XPath functions using Automation Anywhere.

Let's start this walk-through by executing the following steps:

  1. To save the results of our XPath function, create a String type variable called sBookCount.
  2. Add a Step action on line 38, ensuring it is aligned with the previous Step action on line 34.
  3. Set the Title property of this Step action on line 38 to Execute XPath Function.
