Hi @AutomationPerso 

1. Count the string length → int_textlength
2. Calc int_textlength_minus2 = int_textlength - 2
3. Use the Modify String action to Extract substring

Interesting. Why does “count collection” count the number of characters? Shouldn’t it return a value of 1 since there is only one value in the collection?

Also, I think a simpler way to do this (thanks to your help) would be apply a regex and split using the expression .{2}$

It extract each character and insert into a collection. “apple” → p“a”, “p”, “p”, “l”, “e”]
Once the length is known, its easy to extract from a string eg 1st three chars, last three chars etc

With regex, there is many ways to manipulate strings.
