Hi there Microsoft Community, is someone able to help me rewrite this expression so that it selects the next 152 characters?

split(body('Get_task_details')?['description'],'OutlookId=')[1]

Im trying to write a compose, but it ends up copying a lot of excess content.

Help or guidance is appreciated, Thanks!!!

Hi @SimonB2020 ,

Here is an idea for your expression:
substring(split(body('Get_task_details')?['description'],'OutlookId=')[1], 0, 152)

It will capture the 152 characters after the substring 'OutlookId=' from your 'description'. If you want to change the length of your substring, you can change the '152' from the expression.

Let me know if it works for you or if you need any additional help!
