How to get the 3rd element after doing a split

Posted on 17 Mar 2023 19:35:03 by johnjohn123 3,502

I have this formula to concat and get the last element after doing a split:-

 

 

concat(body('GetRootFolder')['d']['ServerRelativeUrl'], '/', 'Closed','/',last(split(items('Apply_to_each'),'#;')))

 

but my question is how i can get the 3rd element inside the split array instead of the last element ?

    What was the error that you got?  The syntax might be off by a bit or the item may not have 3 or more parts after the split.  But here's an example of it working with a Split.

    items('Apply_to_each')

    is JSON notation.  Everything in Power Automate is stored as JSON.

    You can add an zero based integer Index to your JSON in place of the last()

    concat(body('GetRootFolder')['d']['ServerRelativeUrl'], '/', 'Closed','/',split(items('Apply_to_each'),'#;')[2]))
