After searching for text, the Find Text Action stores its search results in Variable Wizard dynamic values that can be automatically retrieved by other Actions in the same Task and used as parameters for process automation or result output.
| Variable | Details |
|---|---|
| Found text | Returns the text found by Find Text Action. |
| Found item list | Returns the list of all items found during the search. Items are separated with a | (pipe) character. |
| Found item count | Returns the total number of search matches. |
| Found position list | Returns the list of values that indicate the positions where the matched search results are located in the text string or file. |
| First position | Returns the numeric offset value at which the found text can be located in the text string or file. If the search results are in the very beginning of string, the returned value is 1. |
| Original text | Returns the source text string in which the search was conducted. |
| Completion status | Retrieve Action execution status with a possible value—Successful or Failed. Or Empty, if Action has not been executed yet. |
| Adjust() | Streamline creation of Task workflows even further—instantly make quick variable adjustments such as in-place replacement (all, first, or last occurrence), trimming (whitespaces, quotes, etc.), or changing capitalization. Optionally, set a different display name. |
Automatic list processing…
The Find Text variables returned as lists (even multi-level) can be automatically processed in further Actions. Use the For Each Action to parse a given text string (any list variable) and sequentially retrieve its elements one by one · see list processing examples. Or, use the Split Text and Lookup Text Actions to access list elements by their indices.
