Hi All,

I am using PowerAutomate desktop replace text to remove white space, dashes and braces . Can someone please share the regular expression. I tried with [()-\\s] but it is not working.

Sample text: phone number of (123) -3450238. May have an ID as 12345678

I am even fine with below result

result : phonenumberof1233450238.MayhaveanIDas12345678

@Highboy Please suggest if possible.

Regards,

Awadhesh

I don't know regex, but for whitespaces, you can use Replace %' '% with %''%
