Why is this replace function invalid?

Posted on by blkfyre 4
replace(triggerBody()?['ItemCode'], "<p>", "")
 
ItemCode is a value from a sharepoint list that is an html text.
I am tryting to replace all the <p> tags with blanks.
 
Microsoft flow keeps saying it's invalid even though I followed their example.
 
for ex: Replace("Hello", "ello", "i") is also invalid
 
replace(triggerBody()?['ItemCode']) is the only thing that is valid

    Hi @blkfyre 

     

    use single quotes

    and replace "R" should not be caps

    example
    replace('hello','ello','i')
     

    Regards,

    Reza Dorrani

    Hi @blkfyre ,

     

    You should surround the old text and new text with a single quote but not a double quote.

     

    replace('the old string', 'old', 'new')

     

    Please check the documentation for more details:

    Best regards,
