 Here’s an example of how the activity works –

In the following example, I am going to use the “TextSplitting” activity to split and
extract the value form the provided input string. Here I am continuing from the
“ReadText” activity example.

Steps to execute the bot:

1.       Create a solution named “TextAutomation” or open an existing solution.

2.       Drag and drop the "TextSplitting" activity onto the designer pane and place
it below the read text activity.

3.       Double click on the activity.

a.       Here I am providing the input string as the text extracted from the “ReadText”
activity variable.

b.       Choosing the split type option as “LTRIM”.

c.       Providing the string length as “14” in the box to extract only 14 characters
from the left side of the text in the variable.

4.       Navigating to the “Text” in the output properties of the activity to declare a
variable to view the output.

a.       There are two methods to store the spied value in the variable.

b.       Method 1: Double-click on the variable parameter in the “Text” section and
enter a name that helps you easily identify it in the flow. Here, I'm using the
name "Trimmed" and using the shortcut key "Ctrl+Q" to create the variable.

c.       Method 2: Click on the variable pane, enter your preferred name (here, I'm using
"Trimmed"), and choose the data type as "String" since the output value accepts
the string data type.

5.       Now, placing the “Writelog” activity to write the output in the output window.

a.       Provide all the required inputs.

6.       Execute the workflow.

The bot executes the activity, trims the first 14 characters of the given input
string from the left side and gives the output as “The Dictionary”
