Business value

Sometimes you need to loop through text strings—for example, to identify characters, remove, or replace them. With this release we are adding support for using the foreach operation on Text variables, making it easier to perform this iteration.

Feature details

You can now use the existing foreach loop operation on Text variables, allowing you to detect as well as remove or replace individual characters in strings.

Use the foreach keyword to iterate over Text variable characters
