Can you give more details about it i dont get it.

If you want to get the first letter of the string just use the left functions and pass the index.

See this link for your reference.

You can use a matches activity with this pattern: “(^\w| \w)”

After that, loop the result and get each items value.
Something like this:

If you want to exstract First letter of string then use
WordVariable.Substring(0,1)
For length of string use
WordVariable.Length

Hello @pattyricarte
Suppose string is “My First Name” so its scrap “MFN” only. I am able to scrap first letter where I know how many words in string but I want to scrap first letter of string where I don’t know how many words in string.

hmmm if this is the format you just need to split the string and make it an array using the delimited of the space.then you can get the first letter of the array per index. hope it make sense. @kalpitmantri
