Hi, welcome to the community!
After you read the text file to a varText variable, you can do like this to a varIds String[] variable:
varIds = System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Match(varText, "(?<=ID: ).*").Value.Split(";"c)
you can get every id in a for each activity.

@rv27 Modified your code and was able to extract two values. Similarly rest of the values can be extracted. Please take a look. Thanks!
