Getting a string on the team message that starting with a letter "x" to "y"

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by JokerD 13

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to get some words on the content body of the team message. After that, I add these words to the subject of the email.

These words start from "[" to "]".

Example: add_[EX_thisisatest] with some symbols
    => The result: I can get "EX_thisisatest" string on the team message.

 

I'm looking around but there is no clue to do it.

Any help will be greatly appreciated 😊.

    Hi @JokerD ,

     

    Based on your description, I have made a simple test for your reference.

     

    This is message for test:

    We can follow the idea of the following image.

    First, separate the text with "[", then remove the first item. The result is array1.

    Then, by applying to each, we can separate each item in array1 with "]" and retain the first element. The result is array2.

    Finally, concatenate array2 into string of subject by the join() function.

    This is my flow:

    Result:
