    You need to check what character(s) is between Business Use and Name: APMP-00004707, as it could be either vbCr, vbCrLf or vbLf. I've never used PDF.ConvertToText() method, so I don't know what it uses for return line.

     

    Once you have figured out the character, then you can store each line into an array

In this example,

I'm reading the clipboard text that I've copied from Notepad++. I'm showing all characters which include CR and LF.

 

I'm using the Split method to split each line; you can also perform another Split to split each word, and then insert vbCrLf.

 

It's important that the string is formatted correctly, to perform string manipulation

I have a  PDF which has a tabular data ,After doing   c1= PDF.ConvertToText(path1) , when I am displaying my data then it is coming like this.(This is the Screenshot of data which has been read by Testcomplete)

Now I need each word to get stored in array in vbscript.

 

As per your above response then testcomplete is generating wrong format of data its a bug then.

 

Otherwise there has to be some solution.Having said that Testcomplete is not reading vbscript nextline characters like vbcrlf ,vbnewline etc , where as in javascript It is reading "\n" But I want in Vbscript.
