hi there,

I'm beginner with power automate, sorry if my post is a dumb one!

I can't get an array type output out of a compose action using a split fonction: the output is an array converted in string.

my fonction is written this way:

split(outputs('Html_en_texte')?['body'], variables('lineBreak'))

my output is this one:

" [\"weekly report - S36\",\"\",\"test_test_test (1)\",\"\",\"TVBRAS\",\"\",\"\"]"

and my input value is:

"body": "weekly report - S36\n\ntest_test_test (1)\n\nTVBRAS\n\n"

according to all post I've seen it should be an array.

any ideas?

In neither your screen shot or in your question you show what you are using in your variable. That could be the cause of your issue. How are you defining the variable lineBreak?

i've solved the problem by by passing the compose action

I use the split function directly as an input for the filter array action
