Hi
we can do this FILTER DATATABLE ACTIVITY
–where use READ RANGE ACTIVITY and get the output with a variable of type datatable named dt
–now use FILTER DATATABLE activity and mention like this
image

where in the column field mention as
0 (if we dont know the columnname) or mention the column name between double quotes
and in the condition mention as CONTAINS
and in value field mention as
“AAB - Average At Best”

finally our datatable variable dt will be having only the rows we want

did that activity helped us on this

awesome
–in that case once after getting the datatable use FOR EACH ROW activity and mention the variable dt as input
–inside the loop use a assign activity like this
row(0) = System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Match(row(0).ToString,“[A-Z]+(?<=AAB).*”)

It worked

Thanks a lot @Palaniyappan,

Here row(0) = “AAB”+System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Match(row(0).ToString,“[A-Z]+(?<=AAB).*”)

AAB is not constant it will change let say BTE, SED, FD, GT,…like that will come…in this case the above expression will work???..

Thanks,
Suresh.

I Used this expression Test.Substring(Test.IndexOf(“—”)-4).Trim() i am getting the result outside the loop… when i use it inside the for each loop i am getting error…

Fine
in that case we can use SPLIT Method like this
row(0) =String.Join(" “,Split(row(0).ToString,” ").Asenumerable().Skip(3))

here you go with a xaml @suresh_kumar4
hope its resolved

Hello @Palaniyappan…

I tried this row(0) =String.Join(" “,Split(row(0).ToString,” ").Asenumerable().Skip(3))
its working fine outside the loop… when i use it inside the loop its not working…

Thanks,
Suresh.
