Problem with split function

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by joaosantos489_

So I have a flow that extract the content of an email and send it to a excel and note file.

And I have the split function to separate and break line when I have a "+".  

split(body('Substring'),'+')

The output when I run the flow look likes this (like I want)

Thing is on the excel/note file it goes like this: 

["5600000441350","IRMADONA","20220226041224655","1879103666","INVOIC.txt.\nD"] 

 

What I am doing wrong?

Thanks

    Hi @joaosantos489_ 

    Split() function returns an array that contains substrings, separated by commas.

    Do you want to fill the returned Array values into the excel column respectively like below?

    If yes, you can refer to below screenshots:
