How to extract second word from text

Hello,

I’m struggling with extracting text via GetText Keyword. After using GetText I have 5 words extracted from Object, and I need to get only second one. I cannot use substring option as this word have different length each time.

At the beginning I’m declaring new variable:
String selectedChannelName = WebUI.getText(findTestObject(randomChannel))

after that some part of test is going on, and after opening new menu I need to verify that text which contains name is the same one as stored in selectedChannelName variable. So I’m getting name of new element in other menu:

String displayedChannelname = WebUI.getText(findTestObject('Object Repository/xxxx/xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx/div_channelAddedToPackage'))

and then I need to use previously obtained name from 1st menu:

WebUI.verifyMatch(displayedChannelname, selectedChannelName, false)

But in logs I have stack that name does not match as I have much more text extracted in selectedChannelName.

Log:
xxx/xxxx/xxx/xxx/xxx/Add a new service group FAILED.
Reason:
com.kms.katalon.core.exception.StepFailedException: Actual text ‘Channel 3’ and expected text ‘SD
Channel 3
330
2 models
No’ are not matched

I need to extract “Channel 3” name (it may have different length each time)? Maybe it is possible to extract it to some kind of a list?

You will likely get better results using string.split

String partName = selectedChannelName.split(/\s/)[1] // 0 == first, 1 == second, etc
WebUI.verifyMatch(displayedChannelname, partName, false)

Thanks! It worked well :wink: But in the mean time, I have found my mistake. Xpath was a little bit inaccurate and it was taking text from whole row and not one element in it. But Split will be helpful in the future!

Thanks again!
