How to validate a particular value, whether it is displayed on a page or not.

Probably you need use OCR features to make pictures identification against your value

Hi,

Theoretically you have 2 options:
1. Using OCR features (as suggested in the previous post). You can try to use the built in OCR features to try and detect the value on the screen. Basic usage looks something like this:

Settings.OcrTextRead = True
value = find("value")

But here you have to keep in mind few things. First, as with any OCR, you have to make sure that the value you are looking on the screen appears only once. For example if that's a certain number you are looking for, make sure that similar number does not appear somewhere else on the screen. If there is a chance of that to happen, you will have to define a limited area to look for the value. For example, something like that:

region = find("pattern.png")
value = Region.text()

Second, the built-in OCR features are not 100% reliable and the result depends very much on the text size and font. If that's just a regular, small characters (for example like here), chances that it will be recognized properly are very low. Here comes the second option.

2. Using copy / paste
For the reasons explained above, it might be a better idea to copy the text to clipboard rather than try to detect it using the OCR features. To do that, you will have to select the text (double click on it for example) and then copy it (Ctrl + C).

type("c", KEY_CTRL)

Then to access the text, you can get it from the clipboard like that:

value = Env.getClipboard()

See which way suits you most.

Thank you Eugen, the issue is resolved by using

region = find("pattern.png")
value = Region.text()
