    You could probably use a regular expression.  What I did in a similar case was to shove the text into a string variable and then search the string for the substring that I wanted.

     

    So in your example I might first look for the substring Transaction Type: TXN2 Date and Time: 12-May-2021 and then search for the amount that immediately follows it by looking for the $.  Then you can verify the amount.
