Hi Folks,
High Level on my Flow
I need to create a flow which monitors an email inbox for new emails with attachments, isolate a substring within the body content of the email and then save the attachment to a specific location dependant on the substring value within the body.
Most of this flow I am absolutely fine in creating, except one specific part..
Where I need help
The body content of the email could be entirely dynamic, in that it could never be the same wording, structure or length etc.
However, the body content will always have a substring which looks like the below example:
????/??
The ? characters will always be an integer value and the structure of the substring will always be - 4 integers followed by a '/' followed by 2 integers.
However the integer characters again could be entirely dynamic from one email to the next and therefore are effectively mystery integers.
Example
To give as much information as possible, the following example could be a full email body containing a version of the substring I'm trying to isolate:
"Please find attached document which relates to 0928/77. If you have any problems please let me know."
With the above email body, I don't care about anything other than isolating "0928/77" and storing that value into a variable which i can then use later on in the flow.
Any ideas or help would greatly be appreciated!
Many thanks,
Jordan
Hi @Creppz
There's no regex in Power Automate but if that is the only guaranteed / in the string you can use indexof and substring as follows:
Output is :
