    Prozedur

    1. In the Toolbox pane, navigate to Utilities > String Utilities.
    2. Drag the SubString component to the Design surface.
    3. To configure the input fields, see Configure port properties.
    4. Connect the data and control ports of the SubString component to the corresponding ports of the other components as described in the following table.
      Port type Purpose of connection Mandatory?
      Data In (String) Takes the string from which the component creates a substring from a previously executed component. Yes
      Data In (startindex) Takes the index position value of the string characters from a previously executed component.

      For example, if RPA is the string and 2 is the index value, the substring starts from the character"A" and is A.

      		 Yes
      Data Out (String) Returns the substring and passes to the next component. Yes
      Control In Connects to the Control Out port of one or more components. Yes
      Control Out Connects to the Control In port of another component or the default end component. No
