Hi All,

This is a great forum. Thanks to all for making this forum much interesting. I’ve got answer’s to most of the queries through this forum.

Jumping to the problem statement: Need to build a data table using the below data part of the text file

I was able to split the string. However, the hurdle part is adding the datarow to the datatable. Any kind assistance is appreciated. Also, have attached the xaml for the reference.Thanks

Hey @Ilangos,

Is the piped seperations constant for all?
That is, will there be 5 strings in each array when seperated?

Hi Rishabh,

Yup, the pipe separation would be constant for all.

If you want only FirstName and LastName, then you can replace your for each with Add DataRow.
Check this workflow.

Hey @Ilangos
Delete the inner for each loop and try to put only the add data row activity instead.
Refer to the screenshot below:

PS- If you want only the first and last name only put {splititem(0),splititem(1)}
