Extract URL from text

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I am attempting to extract a URL value from a string of Text, but cannot seem to get the entire URL

This is a sample of the text content:

 

Watch Now: https://tdh.streamingvideo.tn.gov/Mediasite/Play/abf43eb2772246e4bceba593ee85a4381d

July 16 2024 Tennessee Board of Dentistry Microsoft Teams meeting 11 am 

Recorded: 7/16/2024 11:00:00 AM

Duration: 00:00:00

Test

 

 

The following expression should find the the substring pos of 'https' and the end should be the first space after that. 

 

 

substring( variables('BoardMtgTxt'), lastIndexOf( variables('BoardMtgTxt'),'https'), indexOf(variables('BoardMtgTxt'), ' '))

 

 

From this, it's only giving me "https".

I've even tried using HTML_to_text and then performing the following: 

substring( outputs('Html_to_text')?['body'], lastIndexOf( outputs('Html_to_text')?['body'],'https'), indexOf(outputs('Html_to_text')?['body'], ' '))

Either way, the result is the same:

Any assistance with extracting the full URL is deeply appreciated.

    Ok, I saw the information about that utility. I'm sure there's a simple way for Power Automate to be able to do this without the use of a 3rd party tool. 

     

    Does anyone have the expertise to be able to help with this simple text operation? PHP, javascript, and other languages can do this in a single line of code. In linux, I can do it on the command line.
