How can I put a variable into the row/column part of a data table name?

Question

If I want to have a if statement that reads data from a data table that reads a different row of the table every time the loop repeats, how could I put a numeric variable in the row section?

What I have right now is this:

if
%DataFromWebPage[%RowCount%][2]

When I try to run this, I get a syntax error, so how could I make the %RowCount% variable syntax compliant?

Hello,

in my understanding you need to do a Loop that is the exact number of times = to the rows in the table?

And your settings look something similar like: Parameters - Start from:, End to: = %DataFromWebPage.RowsCount% and Increment by 1 where the variables produced = LoopIndex

You can directly get the web table into a Datatable variable of PAD and then loop through it. Use "Extract data from web page" to capture the html table which would return the results in a datatable. Detect any table value as an UI element more than once and PAD will automatically convert it to a table. You dont need to have a count variable. Make sure to use the "For each" action and pass the name of the datatable (in this case DataFromWebPage).
