Set Variable For Parenthesized Text

Hi,

I have a flow setup which saves email attachments to a specific SharePoint folder. This works as expected, but I'm also looking to append the folder name with an additional value.

The current flow uses the "When new email arrives (V3)" trigger and references the subject name. Each of these emails contains an additional value in parenthesis at the end of the subject line, i.e.:

"My Email #1 (Some_Value)"
"My Email #2 (Some_Other_Value)"

I'm trying to determine how to extract the parenthesized text in each of the subject lines, i.e.:

varValue = Some_Value

varValue = Some_Other_Value

(for the respective examples..)

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi @bcanfield83 ,

Do you want to extract the parenthesized text and save it to variable?

You can use split to get the parenthesized text.

Here is a method for your reference.

last(split(first(split(subject dynamic content,')')),'('))

Best regards,

Rimmon
