does power automate support regex?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by dperez13 432

like so:

split('Your input text here', '[^a-zA-Z\n]+')

 

if not, how do I remove all non alpha-numeric characters, so anything thats not a number or a letter, from a string or array of strings?

 

i saw one regex activity but it needed an api key?

    There's no RegEx in Power Automate but you can use an Office Script to get around that.

    Hey
     
    Parse Text action allow for RegEx input. So if you have or can get the data you need RegEx'ed into a word file or a clipboard text, then you can manipulate it via Parse Text.
