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.

Also, the most common output is also a String type. If values are outputted to a Message Box or log/text files, they need to be a String. If they are not, then again, the data item will need to be converted. Luckily, there are a few scenarios in our bot where data conversion will be useful.

The bot we have been building so far already has some great examples of converting the data type. Since the outputs of each walk-through have been as a Message box, it is mandatory that the value is of the String data type. Message boxes can only show String data types.

Let's look at the data conversions performed by the current bot. The first...
