Re: Change Name to Initials
Hi!
Let's assume you have "John Smith" stored in a variable called 'inputName'
If so you can convert by means of the following sequence:
Add an 'Initialize variable' name 'outputName', type string no value.
Add an 'Apply toEach' action block, assign as its input the following expression:
split(variables('inputName'),' '))
Inside the appy to each add 'Append to string' action block, name 'outputName' assign as its value the following expression:
first(item())
Finally, you can add a compose action block out of the 'Apply to eac' and assign as its input the following expression:
join(variable('outputName'),'')
There are other possible approaches, so instead an Apply to each you can use a Select action block and assign the following expression as its input
split(variables('inputName'),' '))
then assign the following expression as the mapping formula
first(item())
...and finally get the expected result by means of a Compose action block, assigning as its inpit the following expression:
join(body('Select'),'')
Hope this helps
