I have a test that uploads a document from my desktop and then the web application returns a message to say 'successfully uploaded document with ID of ABC123'. I want to extract the document ID part of the message only, Is this possible? I have tried to do this using the quick tasks but can only extract the whole message.

Hello Lynsey,
the whole String:
successfully uploaded document with ID of ABC123 is probably contained within a single HTML element (e.g. a paragraph <p>) and this is why you can only use the "Extract" feature to get the entire String.
You can work around this limitation with a relatively simple coded solution.
You can access and set Extracted values in code as seen here:
http://www.telerik.com/automated-testing-tools/support/documentation/user-guide/write-tests-in-code/code-samples/general/extracted-variables-in-code.aspx
You can use simple C#/VB logic in order to re-work the Extracted variable to only contain the ID. From there you can change the extracted variable value to the re-worked version. Here's an example of how to do this in code (let's say the string was extracted in a variable "idString"):
Let me know how it goes.
All the best,
