Regex to check if a specific word exists in text

[Sairam_RPA (Mr.Robot)]

I have a text file. I want to check if specific words exist in the text file.

For example: lion, tiger, bear, alpacha etc. I only want to look at the individual words and not some words inside a string eg : “lioness” (when we search for lion, this should not be picked).

Thankyou

Hi @Sairam_RPA

You can use the following RegEx pattern to determine whether the exact word is specified in the text file or not.

\bword\b

In UiPath, you can do it like this:

1. Read the text file & keep the data in a string textFileData.

2. Prepare the Regex pattern like this:

regexPattern = “\b”+yoursearchword+”\b”

3. And then, check whether that exact word is present in the textFileData or not by using the following expression:

System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.IsMatch(textFileData,regexPattern).ToString

This will return a boolean output. If the match is found, the output will be True & vice versa.

Hope this helps,
Best Regards.
