Split and extract words from a sentence

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Saideep 70

Hi,

 I have a text sentence called: This is the users FirstName LastName. Now I want extract the Last two words from the sentence and store them in variables, say varFirstName and varLastName. The sentence would keep changing but for any input text/sentence, I want to get the last two words and store them as separate variables. Using Last(Split()) function as power fx in automate, I was able to get the Last word, but where I am struck is at, to get the last before word.

 

Please could anyone help me on this?

 

Thanks.
