Find text using a wildcard in a comment (I like this post! ️ #amazing) The Find action takes the value from the Input Value column (I like this post! ️ #amazing) and searches for the string (like*) using a wildcard, where * represents any characters after like. It finds a match and stores the position in the {Found Position} variable. whereas the operation status is stored in the {Status} variable, with the following possible values:
