Blueprism无法匹配两个相同的数据项

Question

I have an object which is trying to determine if a value it reads from on screen is the same as that passed to the object. This is a validation step and it doesn't appear to recognize them when they are the same. I have also tried trimming and lowering both values. I have also tried Test Regex Match. Is there any way that I can get the object to recognize that they are the same, or is there a way for me to find out why they are not matching?

Answer 1

A strange thing. If direct comparison failed, even after trimming and with regex failed, there is probably something wrong with some of the characters. I would probably guess the spaces. Have you experienced this behaviour even on values without spaces?

Anyway, I would probably build a C# code stage like this, that accepts txt (string) and outputs col (collection):

col = new DataTable();
col.Columns.Add("Pos", typeof(decimal));
col.Columns.Add("Char", typeof(string));
col.Columns.Add("CharNum", typeof(decimal));

char[] arr = txt.ToCharArray();

for (int i = 0; i < arr.Length; i++)
{
    DataRow row = col.NewRow();

    row["Pos"] = i;
    row["Char"] = arr[i];
    row["CharNum"] = (int)arr[i];

    col.Rows.Add(row);
}

The result would be like this:

Try to run the code stage on both of your values and see if there is a visible discrepancy.

Answer 2

The solution was to use a Remove Non Word Characters Action in Utility Strings.
