The code works - just run it in an empty expression rule.

The type!NameValue is just a way of containing the name value pairs that you have in your data, to access the names and values, use dot notation - for example .name or .value. Note that it's a LIST of name value pairs as you have multiple name value pairs in your data.

Hello Phil,

Thanks for the response, I tried running your code and its giving me the error i.e " Recieved NameValue at index 1" . I understood the logic of your code but this "type!nameValue" concept is not cleared. Can you take a look once?

I'm pretty sure the below will do what you require, or at least will give you a starting point. It's probably worth noting that your data really shouldnt be in the format you have, but I'm guessing you don't have control over that.

with(
  local!mixedString: "Name:Vivek|Work:Development|Tool:Appian",
  a!forEach(
    items: split(
      local!mixedString,
      "|"
    ),
    expression: with(
      local!item: split(
        fv!item,
        ":"
      ),
      type!NameValue(
        name: local!item[1],
        value: local!item[2]
      )
    )
  )
)
