Re: Freeing memory while working with variables which read through large amounts of text
Thank you for the advice. Because of our company security policy, Robotask x64 is installed on a remote server along with many other programs and many people have access to the server, which we all access from our laptops via remote desktop. This setup also allows access to locations and files not a...

Freeing memory while working with variables which read through large amounts of text
Hi Oleg, Could you, please, advise the best practice for working with variables which hold big amounts of text at many iterations? I often use variables to read text from a number of text files in a loop. I do this to find certain values or to replace strings of text in files. The problem I am facin...

Re: Replacement of special characters in a string
Dear Oleg, I want to thank you again for your help with this special characters conversion problem. The task you kindly provided I used as a function called by my main task from a loop while passing the filename as a parameter on each iteration, and it worked perfectly on all files. Totally agree wi...

Re: Replacement of special characters in a string
Many thanks. You are right, that file did not have BOM, but some others oddly did, even though I obtained them in the same way. Another mistake I made was trying to read the file as a CSV rather that TXT. I'll note this for future.
Thank you for helping.
Thank you for helping.

Re: Replacement of special characters in a string
Thank you for the task. Mine looks very similar, only yours works and mine does not. I am yet to compare the two to see where I made a mistake.
I've emailed you a real life example file which I need to process.
Many thanks for your kind help.
Sincerely,
Lana

Re: Replacement of special characters in a string
Just want to add an example. This is how the original string looks like in the CSV file (not sure if this website would display the characters correctly when I post this, but I'll try anyway): "Andrea Muñoz-Gutiérrez, Alma X. González-Morales, L. Á. García, V. Iršič, N. G. Karaçaylı, I. Pérez-R...

Replacement of special characters in a string
Hi, I am wondering if someone could suggest which functions to use to replace various accented characters in a string (à, é, ó, č, ñ, etc). The task is to read a string from a CSV file and replace all non-Latin characters listed (no need to work with all existing characters, just the ones that the u...

Re: If file exist
This is a good point, thank you, Oleg. Another issue I ran into when checking if file exists is a set of special characters (I suspect they are something to do with BOM, but I am no expert) which is added at the beginning of some files created by Robotask in UTF-8 format file names. They are invisib...

Re: Embedded Chromium Browser
Hi, I also have all sorts of problems with embedded Chromium because it does not store cookies, does not recognise login credentials and does not support add-ons. What I usually do is call externally installed copy of Chrome using 'Run Program' function. You can specify the webpage you want to open ...

Re: How to click a browser extension button?
Because this is not happening on my computer but on my colleague's laptop, and we've already set everything up for her, I have no access to her system to take screenshots. But if in future she experiences the problem again and asks for help, I'll take the screenshots and send them to you. Might take...
