Example

  1. Create a Boolean variable called textExists.
  2. Add a Text Exists activity, and in the Exists field under Properties, add textExists.
  3. Click Select Element on Screen and select the element where the text would be checked if it exists or does not.
  4. In the Text field, write "Robotic process automation".
  5. Add an If activity, and in the Condition field, write textExists.ToString.Equals("True").
  6. Inside Then, add a Write Line activity, and in the Text field, write "Text Found".
  7. Inside Else, add a Write Line activity, and in the Text field, write "Text Not Found". The use case should look as the following screenshot.

The output depends on the selected element in Text Exists activity. If the specified text exists, the activity inside Then should be executed. Else, the activity inside Else should be executed instead.
