Confused about If-Then. Please help

[misery]

Hi, I'm new to RoboTask and have the following issue. My task has an action step of highlighting a string of text from a website, and then (CTRL+C) to copy. I want to use the IF-THEN command to check

IF this copied string of text contains the word "roof"
THEN remove roof from the string before I paste it with the next step of the task.

I've read the manual but don't understand what First/Second operand are in my situation, or where I set up the IF-THEN function relative to my other steps in my task.

Please help. Thanks in advance

The action "If..Then" compares two values: 1-st operand and 2-nd operand

See the example below:

Save the text of the task into a file and use menu Task->Import to import the task into RoboTask.
