Example: Replacing a String with Another String

In this example, we explain how to replace a specific string with another string.

• Action: Replace

• Input Value: Michael Brown;Brown;Smith

  • The first argument (Michael Brown) specifies the original string.

  • The second argument (Brown) specifies the word to replace.

  • The third argument (Smith) specifies the new word that will replace the old one.

• Output Value: {Replaced value}

  • The updated string (Michael Smith) is stored in this {Replaced value} dynamic variable.

  • If the second output variable is defined, it stores the action status with the following possible values:

    • True: If the replacement is successful.

    • False: If the replacement fails due to invalid input or when the specified word to replace is not found.

• Logical Explanation: The Replace action fetches the value from the Input Value column (Michael Brown;Brown;Smith), replaces the string (Brown) with (Smith), and stores the updated string (Michael Smith) in the {Replaced value} dynamic variable.
