As in the above example have a system that generates usernames with a prefix and a number (e.g., “EMP114223”). Users want to test extracting the number part of the username for validation.
Username is “EMP114223”.
To fetch the extracted value, the following input is required.
1. EMP114223;3 (for index),
2.EMP114223;3-9 (for range)
The extracted value is “114223”, and it can now be validated (e.g., check if it has 6 digits)
The result of the substring is stored in the {result} output variable as 114223, which can be utilized for display or further use.
