Kuika's Substring action is used to create a specific substring within a text. With the Substring action you can select substrings from a text based on a specific start and end position and operate on these substrings.

With this action:

• Facilitates data management by selecting a specific section from the text.
• Enables dynamic data processing in applications that require content manipulation.
• Optimizes text analysis and user input processing.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to effectively create substrings from text using the Substring action.

Substring action is supported in web and mobile apps.

Add Substring Action

1. Log in to the Kuika platform.
2. Open the project you will work on from the Apps screen.
3. While in the UI Design module, open the Properties panel on the right side.

4. Select Initial Actions → String Operations → Substring from the +ADD ACTION drop-down menu.
5. In the settings panel that opens, configure the following fields:

• Value: Specifies the main text to operate on. Defines the text to create a substring.
• Starting Index: Specifies the position where the subtext will start. Note that characters in the text start at zero (0).
• Count: Specifies the number of characters to include in the subtext. It allows you to control the length of the alt text.

After completing these steps, the Substring action will be successfully added. Thus, you can easily select specific sections of text in your application and make data management more flexible.
