Posted on by buszi99

Hi, I'm looking for solutions with phone numbers. I have a bit more than 3000 phone numbers and I want to devide them for 6 parts where one of them counts 500. Problem is when I do this operation with function "

take(outputs('Compose_2'),div(length(outputs('Compose_2')),5))" i takes properlu 499 phone numbers and last phone number is not valid for example: 123 456 789 and outcome of this last number is 123 45. Do you know how to devide them and how to take these parts to process further in flow.

Flow look like this:

Compose 2 - I store there phone numbers

Compose 4 - it's the outcome of function "take(outputs('Compose_2'),div(length(outputs('Compose_2')),5))"

Phone numbers are randomly generated

Outcome with numbers

And as you can see last phone number is not complete

Best Regards

Kamil

Hi @buszi99,

Do you want to divide your phone set into 6 groups of 500？

The reason why you have this problem is that your phone sets a string, and when you use take() you can only get the preceding characters.

I recommend using chunk() to group them. Before this, use split() to distinguish each phone number.

I did a test for you to see, in my scenario I have 10 phone numbers and I divided them into 5 groups of 2.

chunk(split(outputs('Compose'),','),2)

Here you could replace the number 2 with 500 in your screnario.
