Covert Object into Array??

Posted on by Skybluekid 262

Hi All,

 

I have a flow which takes information from the Description of a Task and puts it into a Teams Chat.

The task description looks like this:

Skybluekid_0-1690292585809.png

I have managed to remove the Not Relevant part, but when I place the rest in the teams message it comes out like this:

["Part Number : Description","Part Number : Description"]

 

What I would like is to have it:

Part Number : Description

Part Number : Description

 

Any help would be appreciated

    Alternatively, how would I get rid of the Not Relevent section from the original Description

    Hi @Skybluekid ,

     

    Please try to convert the variable from array to string.

    Sample:

    vxiaochenmsft_0-1690334900327.png

    replace(replace(replace(string(variables('var')),'[',''),']',''),',',decodeUriComponent('%0A'))
    vxiaochenmsft_1-1690334923708.png

     

    Best Regards,

    Wearsky

    Hi @Skybluekid ,

     

    Sorry, my mistake.

    Please try this

    replace(replace(replace(replace(string(variables('var')),'[',''),']',''),',','<br>'),'"','')
