Hello

i have an expression in compose that converts my html_to_text so that i can remove new lines with the following

uriComponentToString(replace(uriComponent(body('Html_to_text')), '%0A', ' '))

This works great.

However when i try to call the output in a new compose action i get an error

The template language function 'split' expects its first parameter to be of type string. 
The provided value is of type 'Null'.

My conversion Compose action is called "SingleLine".

I am using a new compose action to call the Output from SingleLine so i can grab some text.

trim(First(split(last(split(body('SingleLine'),'(desk)')),'Supervisor Name:')))

Am i calling the SingleLine Output wrong? Or is there a step of needing to reverse the uriComponentToString back to something else that i am missing?

Hi @stephenJames

can you post the data output from "body('SingleLine')"

trim(First(split(last(split(body('SingleLine'),'(desk)')),'Supervisor Name:')))

I cannot post the exact response as it contains sensitive data. However i can somewhat show the output.
Basically it turns this Html_to_text input

Maecenas ut vulputate mi. Cras posuere eleifend lectus,
malesuada porttitor mi volutpat vel. Aliquam eu consectetur

tortor diam, viverra vel feugiat ut, gravida sit amet magna.
Nulla posuere, ipsum quis gravida gravida, risus dui molestie
into a single line

Hi @stephenJames

trim(First(split(last(split(outputs('Compose'),'(desk)')),'Supervisor Name:')))

replace body('SingleLine') with outputs('Compose')
