@jojomunoz,

Welcome to our Community!.

You can read the .log file using read text file activity, but after that you need to split the output string into separate lines using

strLogFileOutput.Split({Environment.NewLine}, StringSplitOptions.None)

This will give you a string array then you can loop that and do whatever you need to do with that strings(Lines one by one).

Hi
welcome to uipath community
hope these steps would help you resolve this
–use a READ TEXT FILE activity and pass the file path of the log file as input and get the output with a variable of type string named str_input
–then use a assign activity like this
arr_string = str_input.Split(Environment.NewLine.ToArray())
where arr_string is a variable of type array of string
–now use a FOR EACH activity and mention the arr_string variable as input and change the type argument as string in the property panel of FOR EACH activity
–inside the loop use a MESSAGE BOX activity and mention like this
item.ToString

which will display the log each line one by one in message box
Cheers @jojomunoz
