Good morning,
Thank you very much for your answer, but it is generating me error.

-Test Cases / Biohazard FAILED because (of) org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed:
File: / C: /Users/hvergara/Katalon%20Studio/Biohazard/Scripts/Biohazard/Script1494944557729.groovy:20: unable to resolve class internal.GlobalVariable
@ Line 20, column 1.
Import internal.GlobalVariable as GlobalVariable.

What I want to do is to capture the text that contains an element, store it in a variable, and then paste the text that is stored in the variable in a text box.

Sorry my english but I do not speak it very well and it helped me with google.

Hi there,

That error is somehow strange. Can you create another project and try again on the new test cae? What I suggest you is a correct solution and it’s not related to that error.

Thanks

Hi there,

Please use ‘Get Text’ keyword and then store it to the variable you want, e.g:

result = WebUI.``getText``(findTestObject(``'link_Register'``))

To store the value in a variable and then use it again would be:
h3HeaderText = WebUI.getText(findTestObject(‘H3 Header Text’))

To use the variable would be:
WebUI.setText(findTestObject(‘Input Field’), h3HeaderText)

If you want to use Global Variables, you can use:
GlobalVariable.h3HeaderText = WebUI.getText(findTestObject(‘H3 Header Text’))

And then define the Global Variable as part of your Execution Profile
