Re: trim String

Hi @Anonymous ,

Would you please tell us if the provided array in your description is the source, what kind of data do you want to finally get from the flow?

Is it any item or each item from this array, or you want to receive a specific item from this item?

For example, the sec item of this array is:
{
    "type": "source",
    "content": "B"
  }
And if this is the case, you can use expression to get it :
variables('variable_name')[1]

If this is not the case, please show us any example from your side so that we can better understand what do you want for the result.

Best Regards,
Hen Wang
