May 31, 2022 Release Notes (Grab values, Extract values)

Last week, we simplified two processes that were previously only possible with regular expressions.

Grab Values

• We added the ability to grab value by template. See more here: https://testrigor.com/docs/language/#grab 
• This was previously only possible by Regex, which was a less user-friendly, codelike solution.
• A common use case would be an email where it is necessary to save an OPT (one-time password) that is a 6-digit code. Use the following command to do so:

grab value by template "######" and save it as "OPT"

• See more about symbols for templates here: https://testrigor.com/docs/simple-template/ 

Extract Values

• We added the ability to extract value by template. 
• This was also only possible by Regex. 
• This is particularly useful when a value has been saved and not all of the value is needed. You can extract the value from a variable that has already been saved.
