Application Command & Boolean Command

RPA | Application & Boolean Command | Automation Anywhere - Part-5

Application command provides actions to perform application operations such as opening a notepad file, excel file, web application etc.

Application command contains one sub command named as "Open program/file". It takes two parameters as input which are as mentioned below:-

1) Location of the program/file -  In this we need to give either the "exe" name or the URL which we need to open i.e. either we can pass "excel.exe" or "www.google.com".

2) Start in path(optional) - It is an optional parameter where in we can give the path of the application program or file. If we do not provide anything to this parameter then it is also fine as this is an optional parameter.

 

Boolean Command provides actions to perform Boolean operations. By default the Boolean variable takes False as the default value. Boolean command has six sub-commands which are as mentioned below:-

1) Assign - Assigns the source boolean variable's value or the user-defined value to the destination boolean variable. This command takes one parameter as input i.e. we can select constant value i.e. "True" or "False" or pass the variable as an input and store the output to a Boolean variable data type.

2) Compare To - This command is used to compare Boolean values. It compares the value of one boolean variable value to another boolean variable. It takes two parameters as input i.e. boolean variable1 and boolean variable2 as input and stores the output to a Number variable data type.

3) Equal To - Checks whether the two boolean variables are equal and assigns the result to another boolean variable. This command also takes two parameters as input i.e. boolean variable1 and boolean variable2 and stores the output to a boolean variable data type.

4) Invert - Inverts a boolean variable's value i.e. converts "True" to "False" and "False" to "True" and assigns the output to a variable(same or different). This command takes one parameter as input and stores the output to a boolean variable data type.

 

5) To Number - Converts a boolean variable/value to a number. "True" is converted to "1" and "False" is converted to "0". This command takes one parameter as input of boolean data type and stores the output in a Number variable data type.

6) To String - Converts the boolean value to "String" and assigns the output to a "String" variable. This command takes one parameter as input of boolean data type and stores the output in a String variable data type.
