I am not able to integrate custom activity with studio

Hello - I am reading a .txt file with HTML and using the output as a string variable in into HTMLText. The result is two DataTables, however, in the array they are blank. The result looks like this: DataTable[2]&nbsp;{&nbsp;[],&nbsp;[]&nbsp;}What am I doing wrong? When I open the file as a .html it works perfectly.

The result in array of data table is empty ...How should i declare the Html string input

Hi, it is possible to reverse it? Datatable to HTML?

Dear Saahil,My first column in some rows is empty. those rows are treating second column as first column and moving the position by one column. Is it possible to treat nulls as nulls? Thanks,Azmath.

Hi Saahil,Unable to retrieve tables. Getting ouput as below.Output:DataTable[2]{[],[]}Unable to trace the error... Can I get source code for this?

I am unable to retrieve the tables from Mail Message.  Receiving the following error.

Extract data tables from HTML: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Hello Saahil, first of all thank for your providing this acitivity.

But I am unable to retrieve data using this activity.

Scenario: Getting HTML response a webservice, passing this string to this activity and it just throws me DataTable[1] { [] }.

First of all, thx for the Custom Activity. 

I have an inquiry, here's some context: I am getting the HTML for the input and then I'm getting the proper output. For some reason after having some rows as output is not quite getting all the way inside the last one as you can see on the image provided. This info is inside a '<td>' as the previous one but is not getting it.

I'm iterating with a 'For each' to get the HTML tags and then inside that a 'For each row' to get the 'row' info below.

Is there any way we can filter or force it to get to the last 'TD'?

Oh, it seems it does not allow images so here is the code:

<td> Folder Default: #robot Dev-Bot disconnected. (#1222)</td> (not getting this)

Since I can not reply directly to your post, here it goes:

Once you have the output from the HTML activity as an array of DataTale use a regular 'For Each' to iterate inside of it.. 

Do you have any video demonstration for this activity? 

Hi Saahil, I am also getting the "Object reference not set to instance of object" error. I am not reading an Outlook message, just regular HTML page source.

I am attaching a link to my source HTML for reference purposes (shortened). It looks like I can't copy and paste it into this message, for some reason. Lastly, it looks like my source might have an extraneous tr tag; I wonder if that might be an issue?

Kindly to look into this, also we made sure that the component is properly getting the HTML in the email, also please note that its working just fine for the cases where we don’t get this exception,

Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at UiPathTeam.ExtractDataTablesFromHTML.Activities.ExtractDataTablesFromHTML.Execute(CodeActivityContext context) at System.Activities.CodeActivity.InternalExecute(ActivityInstance instance, ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager bookmarkManager) at System.Activities.ActivityInstance.Execute(ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager bookmarkManager) at System.Activities.Runtime.ActivityExecutor.ExecuteActivityWorkItem.ExecuteBody(ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager bookmarkManager, Location resultLocation)
