How to get the text before and after certain word in a string.

VinayKumarCV

Hi All,

I have a scenario where i need to get the text before and after certain word in a string.

Ex: 
put "Hi i am new to eggplant automation and started learning the tool" into variable1.

Now i need the text before and after the word "Automation" into separate variable. 

Any help on this would be great

Hi VinayKumarCV,

You could try making a copy of the variable and then using delete to remove the word "automation" like this:

put variable1 into variable2
delete "automation" from variable2

Here's the documentation: delete command

This may be a solution for you as well:
put "Hi i am new to eggplant automation and started learning the tool" into variable1

put split(variable1,"automation") into variableList

log item 1 of variableList

log item 2 of variableList

Or try this:

put "Hi i am new to eggplant automation and started learning the tool" into variable1

put the word number of "automation" in variable1 into wordNum
put word wordNum - 1 of variable1 --> shows "eggplant"
put word wordNum + 1 of variable1 --> shows "and"
