Modifying output from a compose action

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

I have a flow setup that extracts a link from an email, and i am stuck at this point. I need to remove a blank line, the [ , then keep the link, and remove the ] , and the remaining blank spaces. The compose action outputs stuff i need to get rid of, then the link, then the stuff i need to get rid of. Is there a way to remove everything before (as well as) "[" and everything after (as well as) "]".

I would prefer to keep this action as-is, and add a next action that removes this content (everything before and "[") as well as (everything after and "]")

Much appreciated!

Hi @Anonymous

You can use the replace() expression to remove the specified characters. Believe you want to extract the URL only?

Hi @Anonymous

Also to remove the blank line add a Compose action step press Enter. The use the replace() expression to remove the blank line using the delimiter as output from Compose step.
