--- version: "2026.1.0" language: "en" --- # Get Web Number The **Get Web Number** building block finds and extracts a number from a web page (or from within a specific web element) in an already open browser window. This block only works with browser windows that were previously opened using the **Start Web Browser** block (or their child windows). Fully expanded, the **Get Web Number** block shows the following properties: ![image-20260207-103803.png](https://docs.leapwork.com/__attachments/a_7662953ca9d6448ee6022b69041d5ce3e8e00e7904869d0713b5ae08a892a971/image-20260207-103803.png?cb=11a0a29fdacdcdf1c8ef7fea761b7ec7) **Note:** The screenshot on this page uses the **Elegance Design** , introduced in **2025.3**. If you are using an earlier version, your layout may look different. ## Quick-start 1. Drag **Get Web Number** onto the canvas. 2. Connect the block in the flow and specify the basic parameters required for this block to operate: **Select Web Element to get number**. Optionally, you can adjust other parameters if needed. 3. Run the flow when it's ready. ## Building block parameters Parameters * **Block header** : The green input connector triggers the block to start executing. The green output connector triggers when a number has been successfully found. You can rename the block title ("Get Web Number") by double-clicking it and typing in a new title. * **Select Web Element to get number** : The locator for the web element from which the number should be extracted. You can capture a locator by right-clicking and selecting **Capture new web element** , edit it via **Edit web element** , and clear it via **Clear web element** . * **Number found** : The number that was found. * **Not found** : Triggers if a number is not found before the timeout. This is typically used to branch execution flow or to explicitly fail a case by linking it to a **Fail** block. * **Position found** : The browser canvas position where the number was found in **X, Y** coordinates (top-left is **0, 0** ). Use the expander to work with X and Y separately. Web elements that are not visible (for example hidden by CSS) will have position **0, 0** . * **Area found** : The browser canvas position and size of the found number in **X, Y, Width, Height** coordinates, starting with the upper-leftmost pixel. Use the expander to work with position/size and nested sub-properties separately. * **Source element** : Limits the locator to only search inside the specified source element (for example, searching for numbers inside a previously found table element). * **Browser window** : Makes the block use a specific browser window. Multiple browser windows are not supported by Selenium Grid or external cloud providers such as Sauce Labs and BrowserStack. * **Find format** : Defines a format the number must match to be retrieved. For example, with `Price: [NUMBER] USD`, only numbers inside text like `Price: 123.00 USD` are retrieved. * **Is case sensitive** : Controls whether **Find format** is case sensitive. By default, it is case-insensitive. * **1000 separator** : Defines the character used to separate thousands. By default, this uses Flow's Windows regional settings (typically "," or "."). * **Decimal separator** : Defines the character used to separate decimals. By default, this uses Flow's Windows regional settings (typically "," or "."). * **Filter** : Defines an additional rule the number must meet to be retrieved (for example, only retrieve numbers **Greater than** 100). * **Filter value** : The value used by **Filter** . * **Use occurred** : Selects which occurrence of the number to use when more than one is found. Select **All** to iterate through all occurrences (this shows **Current index** and **Completed** ). * **Current index** : When iterating through all occurrences, contains the current index for the number being processed. * **Completed** : Triggers when the iteration of all occurrences has completed. * **Count** : The total number of found occurrences that match the configured locator and criteria. * **Default timeout** : If the checkbox is not selected, the timeout is **10 seconds** . If the checkbox is selected, the **Default timeout** value from the flow settings applies. * **Timeout** : The maximum time spent searching for a number before giving up and triggering **Not found** . This is separate from the case **global timeout** in **Settings** , which can cancel a run if the whole case exceeds it. * **Scroll to find** : When set to a value other than **None** , the block uses scrolling while searching for numbers. This can be useful for scrollable pages where elements load asynchronously (for example infinite scroll). * **Max repeats** : The maximum number of scroll actions to perform before giving up searching for numbers. * **Amount** : The amount of scrolling performed on each scroll repeat. * **Delay (sec)** : The delay in seconds between each scroll amount. * **Scroll into view** : When checked, the web element containing the found number is automatically scrolled into view. * **Await DOM change** : Delays the search until there have been no changes to the page's DOM for a specified period (for example, 3 seconds). Regardless of this checkbox, the search proceeds after waiting a maximum of **30 seconds** . * **Await Requests** : Delays the search until there have been no active XHR requests for a specified period (for example, 3 seconds). Regardless of this checkbox, the search proceeds after waiting a maximum of **30 seconds**. ## Resources | **Topic** | **Description** | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | [Flows FAQ](https://docs.leapwork.com/faq/latest/leapwork-flow-faq/flows-faq.md) | Common questions about creating, running, and managing flows in Leapwork. | | [Flows Troubleshooting](https://docs.leapwork.com/troubleshooting/latest/leapwork-flow-troubleshooting/flows-troubleshooting.md) | Guidelines and solutions for identifying and fixing issues that occur when building or running flows in Leapwork. | | [Strategy Editor](https://docs.leapwork.com/leapwork-flow/latest/working-with-leapwork/strategy-editor.md) | Guidelines for understanding and using the Strategy Editor in Leapwork to define, refine, and validate robust locator strategies for UI elements using DOM structure, tokens, and wildcards. |
