How can I cause secondWord to eventually end up in a spreadsheet?

Frankly, I have just about solved my problem—albeit inelegantly—by kludging togetherer Katalon Recorder and a couple of Python scripts (each of which calls a couple of bash scripts) which I execute with a hotkey via AutoKey. But, as I’m sure you know, remarkably kludgy solutions like this tend to break. And frankly, I barely know how to use Python.

Therefore, I’m not sure if I would be able to fix my solution if it were to break. Of course, I would rather have a more elegant solution instead of this Rube Goldberg contraption I have reluctantly fashioned out of necessity.

I suppose ideally, I’d like Katalon recorder append the value of secondWord to a text file which I could later manually import into a spreadsheet such as Google Sheets or Gnumeric.

In case you want a chuckle, here’s one of my two Python scripts…

import time
time.sleep(0.2)

times_to_repeat = 10

while times_to_repeat > 0:


    keyboard.send_keys("<tab>")
    time.sleep(0.2)

    keyboard.send_keys("<enter>")
    time.sleep(0.2)

    keyboard.send_keys("<tab>")
    time.sleep(0.2)

    keyboard.send_key('<right>', repeat=3)
    time.sleep(0.2)

    keyboard.send_keys("<shift>+<ctrl>+<right>")
    time.sleep(0.2)

    keyboard.send_keys("<shift>+<left>")
    time.sleep(0.2)

    keyboard.send_keys("<ctrl>+c")
    time.sleep(0.2)

    keyboard.send_keys("<escape>")
    time.sleep(0.2)

    window.activate('Google Chrome',switchDesktop=True)
    time.sleep(0.2)

    keyboard.send_keys("<ctrl>+v")
    time.sleep(1.0)

    keyboard.send_keys("<down>")
    time.sleep(0.2)

    window.activate('Firefox',switchDesktop=True)
    time.sleep(0.4)
    
    times_to_repeat -= 1
