The following converter steps are now available in Robots.

• Extract Number

• Format Number

• Pattern Matching

These steps can only be used inside steps that belong to a converter group. The conversion and extraction are performed with the help of the $current and $initial built-in variables.

Extract Number

Use this converter step in Robots to extract a number from a text and convert the value using decimal and thousands separators, or Convert to Integer option.

Format Number

Use this converter step in Robots to reformat a number. The input text must be a number in the standard number format, such as "12378.64".

Specify a format pattern that provides a flexible way to customize the number format.

Use Format Number with the Extract Number step.

Pattern Matching

Use this converter step in Robots to manipulate a text, for example, extract parts of a text. The patterns match against the built-in $current variable. If none of the patterns in a step matches the $current variable, or if evaluation takes too long, a MatchIssue exception is thrown.
