String Operation (Parsing a Variable)

[Bizmodus]

How do you parse a variable (Full Name) into two pieces (First Name and Last Name) using the Task Editor? I can't seem to use the String Operation because it doesn't let me put in a space as a delimiter.

Thanks

Hello,

Try below mentioned procedure to separate the string by using “space” delimiter.

1. Go to Task Editor Window.
2. Select Keystroke command under Keystroke\Mouse category.
3. In Keystroke Window select “Currently Active Window” title.
4. Hit Space bar once in Keystrokes text box.
5. Save the keystrokes.
6. Select this keystrokes command and right click on it.
7. Select “Convert to Variable” option. It will open “Convert to Variable” window.
8. Enter the name of the variable “Space”.
9. Leave Variable Value as it is and hit on save button.
10. Now hit on Variable Manager and you will be able to see the variable “Space” in Task Editor.
11. You can use this variable as a delimiter to separate the string (Full Name).

For a ready reference sample task is attached with the mail to separate the Full Name (Test1 Test2) values in the string.

Download and save the task at My Documents\Automation Anywhere\Automation Anywhere\My Tasks (Default Path). Launch Automation Anywhere, select the task and hit on Run button.

Please let us know how it goes.
