Replace values in an array

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by ThoSt 27

Hi all,

I've created an array but need to replace its values with something else.

 

This is the array: ["mjz5lfmzksyt","c0ptfg87m6fk","ytnly15lk1l7","3v17wct4sb9l"]

 

The values to replace should always be the same, e.g. mjz5lfmzksyt always becomes TESTSETUP1 and so on.

 

Not sure how to do this best, so I am looking for some guidance.

 

Thanks!

    1. Create an Apply for each loop on the array 

    2. Then a switch condition on the array value for example:mjz5lfmzksyt 

    3. Then use compose data operation replace function to replace the value and add it to a new array

     

    Hope this gives you an idea!

    Hi,

    You can use “replace” function to replace values.

    Hi@Mira_Ghaly 

    I am wondering if you can outline how this looks in a little more detail. I think this is what I need to resolve my current issue but I'm having a hard time visualising what this would look like in PowerAutomate.

    Thanks

    you cannot use replace with an array - it works only on a string, I have tried this several times and get a workflow failure every time.
