Help with removing parenthesis from MS Form inputs to output into an email

Hello,

I am building a flow and am stuck on a relatively simple step. I know it involves using a 'replace' statement to do so, but basically users fill out an MS form and the question i'm working on, is multiple choice. They can select one or more answers. When power automate interprets this though, it adds in "].

What I'm trying to do with this is to compose an email with some of the information entered on the form, and for this particular question, I want to remove the parenthesis ("]") so that only the text selected is shown and it outputs as Answer 1, Answer 2, Answer 3.

Appreciate any help with this.

Re: Help with removing parenthesis from MS Form inputs to output into an email

Hi @crmart1n_mx,

Do you want to save the multi choices as single string?

To parse the string to an array use the JSON expression, and then use the Join to concat them with a comma.

Here is a simple demo:

json(outputs('Get_response_details')?['body/rfd513626b03b41fd873c992d83806885'])
