How To Split A String - In UiPath

Sometimes we might want to break down a string datatype value into an array of substrings based on some separator.

A separator can be a space, a comma, a newLine e.t.c

Let’s see how to do that!!!

Where,
1.Input is our input String value
2.Result is our output List
3.Separator is the desired delimiter ex: comma, space, hyphen e.t.c

Install “Microsoft.Activities” Package ,if you don’t find the split activity in your activities panel

Example

Implementation using UiPath :

Let’s develop a project which takes a string value consisting of numbers separator by comma and displays the values.

Step 1:
Drag “Assign” activity into the designer panel and initialize the string variable with some sample data as shown below.

numbers_Data = “1,2,3,4,5”

Step 2:
Drag “Split String” activity into the designer panel and supply the below-mentioned parameters.

Input: numbers_Data
Result: result_List
Separator: “,”

Step 3:
Drag “For Each” activity into the designer panel and supply the above-created list variable to it.
Then, drag “Message Box” activity to display the values available in the list variable.
