1. Launch Studio. In the HOME Backstage view, click **Process** to create a new project. The **New Blank Process** window is displayed.

2. In the New Blank Process window:
   * Enter a name for the new project and a description that summaries what you are aiming to do with this automation project.
     :::note
     The project name cannot exceed 128 characters, and the description cannot exceed 500 characters.
     :::
   * Select **Show advanced options** and choose the location where to create the project.
   * Select **Windows** for the **Compatibility** option and **VB** for **Language**.
3. Click **Create**. The new project is opened in Studio.
4. Open Internet Explorer and navigate to https://www.uipath.com/product/studio. You can use any supported browser, but make sure the required [UiPath extension](https://docs.uipath.com/studio/standalone/2025.10/user-guide/about-extensions) is installed.
5. In the **Activities** panel, search for [Use Application/Browser](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/docs/n-application-card) and drag it to the **Designer** panel. Notice that the activity is automatically added inside a **Sequence**.
6. In Use Application/Browser, click **Indicate application to automate**, and then move the mouse pointer to the browser page you just opened. When the window is highlighted, click anywhere in the browser page. The Use Application/Browser activity is updated, the URL is added to the **Browser URL** field, and a screenshot of the window appears inside the activity.
7. From the **Activities** panel, add a [Get Text](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/docs/n-get-text) activity to the **Do** container of the **Use Application/Browser** activity. Click **Indicate in IE**, and click on the text that you want to scrape from the previously loaded web page.
8. In the [Data Manager](https://docs.uipath.com/studio/standalone/2025.10/user-guide/using-the-data-manager), navigate to the **Variables** panel and create a new `string` variable called `GetText`. Set its scope to `Sequence`. The purpose of this variable is to store the scraped information.

9. In the **Get Text** activity, insert the `GetText` variable in the **Save to** field.
10. From the **Activities** panel, drag a [Write Line](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/docs/write-line) activity. In the input text field, add the previously created variable. This activity writes the scraped data to the **Output** panel.

11. Add another **Use Application/Browser** activity to the project. Open a Notepad instance, click **Indicate application to automate**, and then move the mouse pointer to the Notepad window you just opened. When the window is highlighted, click anywhere inside it. The Use Application/Browser activity is updated, the path is added to the **Application path** field, and a screenshot of the window appears inside the activity.
12. Add a [Type Into](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/docs/n-type-into) activity in the **Use Application/Browser** activity’s **Do** container. Click **Indicate in App** to select the Notepad window, and add the `GetText` variable to the **Type this** field. This activity writes the scraped text to a Notepad window.

13. In the ribbon, click **Run File** or use the **Ctrl + F6** shortcut to execute the project.

When the execution is completed, notice that the scraped text is written to the [Output](https://docs.uipath.com/studio/standalone/2025.10/user-guide/the-user-interface#the-output-panel) panel, and in the Notepad file.

Similarly, you can create other processes to scrape data from web pages, using the [Table Extraction](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/docs/table-extraction) wizard.
