Posted on by Asma2406

I'm trying to remove text between parenthesis as well as the parenthesis
i can remove the parenthesis but still couldn't remove what's between them cause the text is variable it can be anything.
i receive an email that contains each time something different but all i have to do is remove the text between the parenthesis and leave the body of the mail as it is and then the forward it.
Something like this

Any ideas please ??😔

This will be exactly what you want, except instead of @ you will use ( and instead of | you will use )

https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Flows/extract-s-string-between-two-characters/m-p/81139/highlight/true#M8072

Basically, you follow these steps:

1) Get the index of the (, turn that number into an integer, and add 1.

2) Do the same for the ), except, don't add 1.

3) Subtract the index of ) from the index of (.

4) Get substring of your text using output from Step 1, output from Step 3.

It worked but only for the first text between parethesis, for the rest ( the mail contains so many words between parenthesis) didn't work on them.

Oh, I see.

In that case.. 🤔
You could split on"("

That'll give you an array of everything that has starts with a ( - but it won't include it.

Then all you'll need to do, for each item in that array, is Steps 2 - 4, and consider that Step 1 will always be either 1 or 0 (I can't remember right now - I think 0?)

This works for simple cases only (e.g. no nested parenthesis):

Select

From:

split(outputs('Compose'), '(')

Map:

last(split(item(), ')'))

Compose:

join(body('Select'), '')

Output:

Lorem dolor sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat.
