StringBuilder connector methods
The StringBuilder connector methods enable you to create, append, update, replace, or remove strings in your automation workflow in RPA Desktop Design Studio.
Append
Adds string to an existing string. You can create multiple strings by using multiple copies of the method. To view the output, use the ToString method.
Note: The method doesn't insert a line between the strings.
