Split string with new line as delimiter

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Kapil775 28

Hi,

 

I am having below sample text which is updated in an excel cell. I am reading this data from excel and trying to split it with new line as delimiter in 'Split text' activity. However post split whole text is in first index of output array.

 

Address line 1: text1

Address line 2: text2

City: text3

State: text4

Pincode: text5

 

This split is successful if I manually type same data in set variable and pass this variable to 'Split text' activity. Kindly advise if there is any way to split this data read from excel cell.

 

Thanks,

Kapil

    Hi @Kapil775

    use parse text to get all line data wise

    Note: i am using single cell for demo purposes. so i have %ExcelData% in form of text value.
