Hey @avnreddy007

Since you are saying it’s just for only one field, we can go with string manipulation…

str_XML.Substring(str_XML.IndexOf("<variables.customer>"), str_XML.IndexOf("</variables.customer>") - str_XML.IndexOf("<variables.customer>"))

There may be some adjustments required since there is a tradeoff in index function, please try once and let know

Hope this helps

Thanks

could you please help me out how to map <variables.customer> value in Build data table?
Which kind of data type we need to use and which kind of code need to include in assign value?

Hey @avnreddy007

Just keep the data type as string and in the assign you need to do the following,

dt.Rows(0)("ColName") = str_XML.Substring(str_XML.IndexOf("<variables.customer>"), str_XML.IndexOf("</variables.customer>") - str_XML.IndexOf("<variables.customer>"))

I’m assuming it’s just the first row & used 0 as row index above

Thanks

we would recommend to process XML with XML Apis / Activities
Kindly note: XML snippets will be broken, when not using the format </> button from editor.

The best option would be:

  • provide the XML data as text file
  • provide an expected output sample / description

The element name is case sensitive. Have you tested to change "Variables.customer" to "variables.customer"?
