Hi, 

 

I would like your help about Substring function. I've using this function everyday and it can use normally. 

 

Today I got this error.  Here is my formular. 

replace(trim(substring(variables('Emailt'), add(indexOf(variables('Emailt'), 'ORGANIZATION'), 13), sub(indexOf(variables('Emailt'), 'POSTCODE: '), add(indexOf(variables('Emailt'), 'ORGANIZATION'), 13)))),variables('New Line'),' ')

    Hi @nitisak ,

     

    Please try:


    replace(trim(Split(Split(variables('Emailt'),'ORGANIZATION')[1],'POSTCODE: ')[0]),variables('New Line'),' ')

     

    Best Regards,

    Wearsky

    Make sure that the sum from adding the startIndex and length parameter values is less than the length of the string that you provide for the text parameter. Otherwise, you get an error, unlike similar functions in other languages where the result is the substring from the startIndex to the end of the string. The length parameter is optional and if not provided, the substring() function takes all the characters beginning from startIndex to the end of the string.

    Please 'Thumbs Up' the posts that helped you and 'Accept as Solution' if my post answered your question.
