    Hi @Peter38 

    You can use regex and get the text what you need.....

    Or you can use split activity....

    If you have power fx enabled you can use split function or concatenate......whatever...you need for your scenario....

     

    Hope this helps

    To manipulate string variables in Power Automate Desktop, you'll find a plethora of options within the text package. Please refer to the screenshot below, which showcases the wide array of options available for string manipulation.

    This is exactly what I was missing. My google-fu kept showing up information about using Compose in Cloud. Thank so much
