So I worte this function and sometimes its able to grabbed the text in table and sometimes it doesnt

Asked by Ali Ahmed

So I want it to run consistently, i dont understand why it's not able to grabbed the text in column. This is the function I am using:

def copyBookOutsTableTradeID():
    print "Copy Trade ID in Bookouts"
    r=Region(218,195,209,148)

    wait(.5)
    click(Location(509, 227))
    x=r.find("SRCTradeIDHeader.png").below(51).highlight(.5).text()

    print("ID is "+x)
    return x

tested and did not have a problem.

your approach principally works.

You have to check seperately, wether text() has a problem with your text:

a oneliner:
print selectRegion().text()

So I tried it with using the one liner and its able to read the text in the table but sometimes its unable to. I ran several times and it doesn't occur frequently but occasionally it will print nothing as the output when it should be showing me a value

Ok, that is a problem with SikuliX's OCR: it sometimes fails.

You have to catch the failing cases and check, what might be different.

I am capturing when its failing, the image the same as the one when it passes. When I tried it with the one line of code it does read the text and print it; but when I tried it about 15 times I did get a few fails where it didn't print anything.

Sorry, but if you do not find any differences between running and failing samples, then I cannot help you.

might be, that 2.0.5 (March 1st) brings some enhancement.

Can you help with this problem?
