    Hi @PDT2017 

     

    Use replace() expression to remove the other characters.

    Hi @PDT2017 

     

    Here is the expression

     

    replace(replace(replace(string(outputs('Compose')),'[',''),']',''),'"','')
     
     
    If you need to convert that comma to semi-colon then use the below expression
     
    replace(replace(replace(replace(string(outputs('Compose')),'[',''),']',''),'"',''),',',';')

    Thanks! I would use the split() function to turn it into an Array, is that correct?

    Hi @PDT2017 

     

    I got a better one for you try the below

     

    join(outputs('Compose'),';')
