**Example: Retrieving the Maximum Length of a Textbox in a Table Cell**

In this example, we explain how to retrieve the maximum character length defined for a textbox located within a specific cell of a captured table.

* **Action**: Get Textbox Length
* **Input Value**: 2;4;input;1
  * The first argument (**2**) specifies the row number.
  * The second argument (**4**) specifies the column number.
  * The third argument (**input**) specifies the type object of the cell.
  * The fourth argument (**1**) specifies the index of the object.
* **Output Value**: {Length}
  * The maximum character length configured for the textbox (15) is stored in the **{Length}** dynamic variable.
  * If a second output variable is provided, the action returns the status as True/False:
    * **True**: If the maximum length is retrieved successfully.
    * **False**: If the maximum length is not retrieved successfully.
* **Logical Explanation**: The **Get Textbox Length** action reads the details from the **Input Value** column (**2;4;input;1**). It identifies the table cell located at row 2 and column 4, locates the textbox object inside that cell, and fetches the maximum character length defined for that textbox. The extracted value (15) is stored in the **{Length}** variable.
