Hey @egarate,
Can you give us more details about what exactly you want to print?
Do you want to print an array? Or do you want to print a string?
Moreover, from where do you want to print it? From an excel, or scrape it from some website?

Answer 1

1. If you want to print array of String

you can print the array of string in a line by seperating it with a delimeter like (comma etc) use log message Inside log try this string.Join(",",List_Variable)
If you want to print each element in different line then use this
string.Join(System.Environment.NewLine,List_Variable)

2. Print the list one by one 

Use a foreach, In that put your list variable and in the Do use a writeLine or message box and put the item variable. It will print your values one by one. You cannot print the whole list as toString

Answer 2

To print a list of strings you can follow the mentioned steps:

1. Use "foreach" (loop) activity to iterate over each element in the list.

2. Inside the loop, use "message box" activity to display each element.

You can use "invoke" method to first create a list and then add items to it and then following the above steps to display the items one by one.

Answer 3

1. create a list using listName= new List (ofString) or you can create another list too.

2. with the help of Add Collection activity  you can add the list values. 

3. use for each loop to iterate through list and inside for each loop use message box or writeline activity to print out the list values.

4. instead of using write line , you can write the values in excel by using write cell activity.

@Venkat, Using write cell activity would write it into an excel sheet, rather than printing it. So using MessageBox would be a better idea.
