Hey, first you have to deserialize the whole content using :

var deserializer = new YamlDotNet.Serialization.Deserializer();
var result = deserializer.Deserialize<List<Hashtable>>(new StringReader(yaml_content_as_string));

Then you can find the element that you want to edit, to do it just loop through the element with a if to check the “GMAIL_USERNAME” and “GMAIL_PASSWORD” key. and edit their value.
After what you have to serialize the object to a you yaml format using :

var serializer = new YamlDotNet.Serialization.Serializer();

Good luck :slight_smile:

Check below example :point_down:

Note * for randam data, use regex.

upDateYMLFILE.xaml (4.8 KB)

Let me know if it works :slight_smile:

Get the https://www.nuget.org/packages/YamlDotNet/ nuget package.
Then install it using packet manager on your uipath project.
Then go to Imports, and import YamlDotNet.Serialization.
Then you will be able to use this library to deserialize and serialize your file.

You can proceed using a Invoke code :

And my result :
