Hello, I would like to extract only the email addresses from a string of any length input into Microsoft Forms, such as "Mr. A <aaa@aaaa.com>; Mr. B <bbb@bbbb.com>; Mr. C <ccc@cccc.com>; ...", and generate a semicolon-separated string. How should I build the flow in Power Automate?

Do you want to do this to send an email to these addresses?

If so just use the original string.

It's a valid "To" value for emails: Mr. A <aaa@aaaa.com>; Mr. B <bbb@bbbb.com>; Mr. C <ccc@cccc.com>

If you still want to do this, you can do the following:

Select

From:

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

Map:

slice( item(), add( indexOf( item(), '<' ), 1 ), indexOf( item(), '>' ) )

Compose 2

Inputs:

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