Wait For Option

Select the mode of waiting for a string.

•Any string. Any received string will start the task. For example, it is convenient if you exchange messages that should be just recorded to the log.

•Beginning of String. The received string should start with the key substring.

•Substring. The key substring can be in any position of the received string.

•Exact String. The received string must exactly match the key string.

Wait for String

Specify the key string that will start the task. This parameter does not make sense if the "Any String" mode is on.

Case Sensitive

Select this checkbox if strings should be compared with their letter case taken into account.

Assign Received String to Variable

Specify the name of the variable if the received string should be assigned to a variable. This value can be used in the task.

The simplest sample use is message exchange: the Listener receives a string, assigns it to a variable and starts the task. The task displays this variable as an informational message.
