Hi All,
This sounds simple, but I am just struggling with syntax! I have a string that looks like this: somethingsomething (12343)
I want to get rid of everything in the parenthesis including the parenthesis. How do I trim it? The numbers inside can vary in length so I cant just trim a set number of characters from the right. Thank you!
Hi @Nicci,
You can use this code in a Text Label control:
Trim( Left(Gallery1.Selected.Id, Find(" ", Gallery1.Selected.Id) ) )
Cheers,
Fernando
@Nicci "I want to get rid of everything in the parenthesis including the parenthesis" this is everything, or do you mean like this:
With({ctxLength:Len("(123231432414)")},Right( Left("(123231432414)",ctxLength-1), ctxLength - 2))
"(123231432414)" > 123231432414
Hi @Nicci
You code should look like:
First(Split("somethingsomething(12343)", "(")).Value
I also found a post that already tackled this issue https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Power-Apps/Deleting-part-of-a-string-from-a-label/td-p/240430
