hi @ronak_94

a.Use Get text Activity

b. Use Shortcut key as Ctrl +A and Ctrl+c for sendhotkey and use copy selected text activity for pasting the value as string in result property and display the data

Hi @ronak_94,
Sorry for the delayed response.
Terminals are different applications and we can’t interact with them using data scraping. Try using Get Screen Area activity from Terminal Package and you can specify your columns accordingly.

If not satisfied with this, you can go with one by one column values as suggested by @AshwinS2.
