Business value

With this new dedicated desktop flow action, you're able to directly get text before, after, or between two subtext flags from an input text in a simple way. You can do this instead of relying on using a combination of text-based actions or using regular expressions.

Feature details

This new action retrieves text from an input text using any one of the following options:

  • Get text before a subtext flag.
  • Get text after a subtext flag.
  • Get text between two subtext flags.

Subtext flags are text markers in the input text that can be case sensitive during look-up.
