Posted on by 56

Hello 

 

I am currently creating a flow in power automate.

Is there a way to remove unwanted character in a string

 

String : 0586-63- 1360

I want to remove the first 0, - and the space

 

Exact output : 586631360

 

Thanks

    Hi @GPT2 ,

     

    You can write a compose expression like this example:

     

    replace(replace(substring(triggerBody()?['subject'], 1), '-', ''), ' ', '')

     

    In my example - I am using the text as if it were in the subject but replace triggerBody()?['subject'] with the dynamic content of your data.
