Validate your Shopping Cart
- After Import Table command is executed, you can use System Variable command, $Table Column(index)$ to extract the row data of the Table when the task runs.
- Open the Task in Editor to insert loop and conditional commands to validate the shopping cart.
- Insert a Conditional command inside the Loop command to verify if the $Table Column(4)$ has the value 16.00 i.e. the price of the book.
- This way when you run the task it will import the tabular data of the shopping cart and look for the expected price and if found, will show a message box
How to find which index to use in System Variable $Table Column$?
- While recording, when you click on the Import Table and capture a table, it will ask you for a csv file name.
- Specify a valid filename.
- Run the recorded task once. It will generate the csv file.
- Open the csv file in Excel and find out which column your data is in and that is the index you need to use.
