Hi all

I am very new to flow and i am still working out a few kinks. i have created a flow where i need to dynamicly change the substring start and length based on the position of a "," in the string. is this possible as i have been trying for hours to figure it out and i cannot come up with a solution. here is an example of the 2 strings i am working with and a snap shot of the flow.

1. ONTARIO,MISSISSAUGA

2.NEW BRUNSWICK,MONCTON

Re: DYNAMIC SUBSTRING

What're you trying to achieve here? Do you just need to extract each substring?
You could split the string using a comma as the delimeter then add the output to an array.
