How to remove special character

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hi, I'm quite new in Power Automate

I want to remove special characters for this scenario:

 

I compose mobile phone and business phones from office365 users,

The output become like this:

 

Mobile phones = 01234567891

Business phones = ["01234567891"]

 

nraindmia_2-1687751346656.png

The problem here is I want the business phone's format become exactly the same as mobile phone. I want the number only, I don't need the special characters [""]

 

This is my flow.

So the output that I want will become like this:

 

Mobile phones= 01234567891

Business phones= 0312345678

 

Thank you 🙂

    Don't consider this special characters. This is JSON notation and means that ["01234567891"] is an array.

    For example, you can access the value using the function first(the_array) within an expression.
