Slice function

Posted on by Mysterious 69

Hello Everyone,

I needed to extract a substring from a string and I used the slice function there. But it's showing an error.

 This is my whole Content and I just need to extract RITM0338201 from this.
Does anybody have a clue what I have to do here because I don't?

    Hi @Mysterious 

     

    You can use below expression to get the required value:

    first(split(last(split(triggerOutputs()?['body/body'],'Compliance Detail - ')),' '))

     

     

     

     

    If this helps & solves your problem, please remember to give a 👍 and accept my solution as it will help others in the future.
