Needed Uipath Activities for Text document(Notepad)

Help Activities

Till Now the Packages availabe for Word and Excel, Example UiPath.Word.Activites now I request for the Package called Text File for opening in Notepad for the purpose of Finding the word in text file and replacing with another word which will open in notepad

There are already basic read/write activities for textfiles. Notepad is merely a tool but not per-se required for your goals.

Read txt file → string replace → write txt file will accomplish your process without opening notepad. You could of course afterwards still open notepad with the altered text file if you wish.

And, due to the simpliciy of this, you can very easily crea\te your own package with your custom activities as a library and thus a reusable activity; saves waiting for UiPath to possibly implement your request.

Check out About Libraries for a start on building your own libraries.
