hi, I need to split a string in Flow at the 6th '/' and delete everything after that, keeping everying before that.

e.g. i have a string such as this https://mysharepount.sharepoint.com/sites/SA/SalesOrders/015300%20to%20015399/015328/Folder%20for%20Sales%20Order%20S-015328%20217%20Nat%20Limited%20Remake%20for%20247%20JAR%202018%2018-SB1863.txt

and i want to delete everything from the word "Folder" onwards, leaving everyting before it

any help would be much appreciated

Hi @StephenM,

Do you want to keep everything before “Folder”?

Please take the following code for a reference.

In Compose, use the function lastIndexOf to return the ending position of the string.

lastIndexOf(triggerBody()['text'],'Folder')

In Compose2, use the following code to remove the characters after the “Folder”.

substring(triggerBody()['text'],0,add(outputs('Compose'),6))

The Output of Compose 2 is:

https://mysharepount.sharepoint.com/sites/SA/SalesOrders/015300%20to%20015399/015328/Folder

Please take it for a reference and try it on your side.

Best regards,

Mabel Mao
