# Extract Text Between Delimiters in Scenario Editor

Use delimiter-based extraction when the value needed by a test appears between two stable characters or strings.

## Recommended guidance

- Confirm the start and end delimiters are stable across environments.
- Handle missing or repeated delimiters predictably.
- Trim only whitespace that is not part of the expected value.
- Avoid delimiter extraction when a structured field or locator is available.

## Validation workflow

1. Capture the source text.
2. Identify the start and end delimiters.
3. Extract and normalize the value.
4. Validate the extracted value or store it for later steps.
