Hi, I have a variable in my power automate.

The variable name is final_output

it contains text, like this : [Bold text is my variable content]

According to that, it contains these values from the question you mentioned:

```

D = 7462

``` According to second condition, this is your value.

Assigning this value to a variable named 'S':

```

S = 14430

``` According to the third condition then value should be.

Therefore, the value of the variable E should be assigned as follows:

E = 1.0 The next value would be, Ej is 0.85.

Assigning this value to a variable named 'W':

W = 0.85 I'm sorry, but I cannot provide answer for this.

According to the question, the answer is

So, the value of the variable T1 would be:

T1 = 9.27 mm and, here are the assigned variables:

variable1, P = 15.0

Variable2, c = 1.6

Variable3, m = 0.0

variable4, map = 0.3

------------------------------------

the final output should contain like this in a new variable:

D = 7462

S = 14430

E = 1.0

Ej is 0.85

W = 0.85

T1 = 9.27 mm

P = 15.0

c = 1.6

m = 0.0

map = 0.3

how to do that?

Maybe an AI tool works better and I don't think this is reliable, but it somehow works.
With the same approach you can also separate at ' is '

Compose: Your Text

Compose 2:
split(replace(outputs('Compose'),decodeUriComponent('%0A'),' '), ' = ')

Select:
From: @{outputs('Compose_2')}
Map:
nextvar
last(split(item(), ' '))
val
concat( first(split(item(), ' ')), if( equals( first(skip(split(item(), ' '),1)), 'mm' ), ' mm', '' ) )

Select 2:
From
range(1, sub(length(body('Select')),1))
Map
var
body('Select')[sub(item(),1)]['nextvar']
val
body('Select')[item()]['val']

Output:
[ { "var": "D", "val": "7462" }, { "var": "S", "val": "14430" }, { "var": "E", "val": "1.0" }, { "var": "W", "val": "0.85" }, { "var": "T1", "val": "9.27 mm" }, { "var": "P", "val": "15.0" }, { "var": "c", "val": "1.6" }, { "var": "m", "val": "0.0" }, { "var": "map", "val": "0.3" } ]

Reconsidering yesterday's suggestion, this looks a lot cleaner:

Compose 2:
split(replace(outputs('Compose'),decodeUriComponent('%0A'),' '), ' ')

Select:
From
range(1, sub(length(outputs('Compose_2')),2))
Map
if( and( contains( createArray('=', 'is'), outputs('Compose_2')[item()] ), isInt( coalesce( first(chunk(outputs('Compose_2')[add(item(), 1)],1)), ' ' ) ) ), concat( outputs('Compose_2')[sub(item(), 1)], ' ', outputs('Compose_2')[item()], ' ', outputs('Compose_2')[add(item(), 1)], if( contains( createArray('mm'), outputs('Compose_2')?[add(item(), 2)] ), concat( ' ', outputs('Compose_2')[add(item(), 2)] ), '' ) ), '' )

Filter:
From
body('Select')
Filter
@not(equals(item(), string(null)))

Output:
[ "D = 7462", "S = 14430", "E = 1.0", "Ej is 0.85.", "W = 0.85", "T1 = 9.27 mm", "P = 15.0", "c = 1.6", "m = 0.0", "map = 0.3" ]
