good afternoon
I want to extract each data from a variable with the value of
Jose Manuel Perez Dominguez
my goal is to extract each value
name = jose
middle name = manuel
paternal last name = perez
mother’s last name = dominguez
I also want to extract each value from an example address variable
“CASERIO MIRAFLORES”
“CAJAMARCA-HUALGAYOC-BAMBAMARCA”
want to get the value of “bambamarca”
HI @borismh
You can try splitting the string using the space…
SplitArray = StringVariableName.Split(" "c)
This will give you a string array with all individual values. Next what you can do is. Get the values assigned to the variables based on the position identifier of the array…
Name = SplitArray(0).ToString
MiddleName = SplitArray(1).ToString
And once it comes to this value “CAJAMARCA-HUALGAYOC-BAMBAMARCA”, split again using the “-” character and get the last index value which will return the expected part you need.
make sense?
and if a name like that appears
Boris Munguia Huaman
with only 3 values without middle name
I want to become dynamic, because they are values extracted from the web
So, is there a way we can identify whether the name in the middle is actually the middle name or the parental last name?
In our country, we usually add the names that come in middle under middle name… is it the same in your country or is it different?
if the data appears with 3 words
Boris Munguia Huaman
so the middle one is the last name
but if the data appears with 4 words
Boris donald munguia huaman
then the middle one is the middle name
there is a way to determine if there are 3 or 4 words to put it into an if condition
Yes… You can determine the length of the name by using the count of elements in the array…
So once you split by the space, you get an array right. On that variable you can use the below code to get the count
ArrayVariable.Count()
Based on the count, you can use an IF condition activity to check whether the names in the middle are actually middle names of the parental name 
perfect already solve the first part
now in reference to the other address data
There is a way to get the latest data, since this is much more variable than the name and surname data
Yes… you can do that… So for the address, we need the last element
So, split is first by “-” character
ArrayName = StringVariable.Split("-"c)
Now, use a assign activity and get the count of the array to identify the length of it.
Int Length = ArrayName.Count()
Now, we know the length… length means, the last element of the array
So to get the last element of the array.
ArrayName(Length - 1).ToString will give you the last element
You have to specify the name of the array variable here
