Hi @zefang,
You can do this with at least two ways:

  1. Use Send Hotkey activity with “CTRL + F” to open “Find” and then Type Into activity with word you are searching for. Then hotkey for ctrl+c etc…
  2. Get text from Word and keep it in string variable and filter it with Matches activity with proper Regex expression.

@Pablito thank you for your reply! But both the words are just examples. What I meant is I need to extract “Continuous” which is not a unique word in the paragraph AND commercial is not a unique word as well. So i can’t simply type into at the commercial location.

Sorry that I didnt make it very clear

Hi @zefang

Could you explain a bit the process of finding out the correct word? If it is a word between other two words, it would be easy to use some regex to do so.
However, there has to be a process we could follow to be able to automate it :slight_smile:

Below is an example where I am trying to get the user name value i.e. PAVAN from the program which will always comes after the string "User Name : ".

Example :

“Please reset below user account password :
Environment : XX1
User Name : PAVAN

Could you guide please.
