### **Example: Retrieving Text from a Specific Object Inside a Table Cell**

In this example, we explain how to fetch the value from a textbox located within a specific cell of a captured table.

* **Action**: Get Text From Object
* **Input Value**: 2;2;input;1
  * The first argument (**2**) specifies the row number.
  * The second argument (**2**) specifies the column number.
  * The third argument (**input**) specifies the type of object present inside the cell.
  * The fourth argument (**1**) specifies the index of the object if multiple objects exist.
* **Output Value**: {Cell Data}
  * The retrieved text value from the textbox (Pending) is stored in the **{Cell Data}** dynamic variable.
  * If a second output variable is provided, the action returns the status as **True** or **False**:
    * **True**: If the text is retrieved successfully.
    * **False**: If the text is not retrieved successfully.
* **Logical Explanation**: The **Get Text From Object** action reads the details from the **Input Value** column (**2;2;input;1**). It identifies the table cell located at row 2 and column 2, locates the textbox object inside the cell, and retrieves the text value stored in it. The extracted text (Pending) is saved in the **{Cell Data}** variable.
