      Name Purpose of connection Port type Data type
      Text Provide text that must be compared with multiple control out ports based on the comparison type.

      For example, if you provide hello welcome as the comparison text, the component compares option 0 and option 1. Since Option 1 starts with hello, it matches with the text provided. Connect this to a MessageBox component to view the output.
