Tips & Tricks
- You can use the Locate action to find the location in a string to parse.
- Use Parse to extract a range of numbers from a larger string. For example, the string “8013203200” can be parsed with Start=1 and End=3 to return “801”.
- Most often, variables will contain the data to be parsed.
