Get cell value problem - large text string

[nilst]

I'm using the "get cells" command to retrieve a large text string from an active cell in an excel sheet, and then assigning it to a variable. However the command will only get around 1000 characters from the cell. How can this be solved? I'm using AA 4.5.1

Hello,

This is strange as it allows approximately 8000 characters (with spaces). Can you please upload your task and the excel file so that we can look into it and suggest you the viable solution?

We have attached a sample task for your reference that extracts large string from a cell into notepad using Get Cells command. To run this task,

Please copy it under location, 'C:\...\My Documents\Automation Anywhere\Automation Anywhere\My Tasks' folder. Also, copy .xls file under C:\.

Hope that helps.
