Hi,

&nbsp;

I think I am missing something or some steps....but....here is the question.....

&nbsp;

I am searching a string and I need to store that value into the variable.

&nbsp;

I am using Text Find/Replace action to search string, but its just search string and give option to replace it. In my case I need to search the string(Patterns) and save that value into variable.

&nbsp;

Anybody knows how to store the&nbsp;"search string value" in variable

&nbsp;

Thanks,

Jeegs

Hi Jeegs   
  
 This is something that is on our todo list to make easier. For now you will have to use some script… have a look at the OnFindText script event for the Text Find/Replace action… you can assign the FoundText to an automise variable there.
