HI @SaiRahul02 ,

 

Why don’t you follow the below approach?

  •  Use Currently Active Window and then capture the object.
  •  In case if user wants to run this task in unattended mode and other applications are also open with the current application then we need to use below approach:

Try to activate the currently active window where you need to perform the functions using Windows Actions → Activate Window command and build the code accordingly.​

You can use the Regular Expression Tools Package

Can’t we do without getting the package. because, in the variable, it directly asks for Regex right?

The “Find” action of the String package also accepts RegEx.

I have to perform same action in different windows in a loop. Here the windows title is varying. And also I cannot use * as wild card beacuse there is no common thing in the title of the window. So I have to use regex

Even for activating window, we need to give the title of the window right ?

Not actually. You can either mention the Window name or can use the Currently Active option.
