Hi

Welcome to UiPath forum

Use a assign activity like this
I assume u have saved the input string in variable named Strinput

stroutput = System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Match(Strinput.ToString, “\b\w\b”).Value.ToString

Hope this helps

Cheers @Ankit2

Hi @Ankit2

Use this Regex expression

Input= " John H Moriarty"
Output= System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Match(Input,"\b[A-Z]\b").Value

Or

Input= " John H Moriarty"
Output= Input.Split(" ")(1)

Hope it helps!!
