Posted on by 12

Hello,

 

I have a case wherein I need to split a string, unfortunately the character that I need to use is "(", any idea how I can escape this so that Flow will identify it as the character to be used for the split? Thanks in advance.

    Hello @st_Titus ,

    ( shouldn't cause any problems in the split(...) expression:

    split(string,'(')

    Hi @st_Titus,

     

    You could insert it into the expression directly, for example:

    split(outputs('Compose'),'(')
    split(outputs('Compose'),')')
