Hello,

 

I am wondering how to remove additional characters in a workflow to prevent the following output below after the workflow runs???

I tried using the small round Fx button and selected string as default but no luck...

 

 

Hi @jpacheco 

That is a Dictionary value. Use the Get Item from Dictionary to extract the value of the key “results”.

 

Get Item from Dictionary
Dict: <state the Dictionary source variable>
Item name: results
Output: CompanyName which should be h“COMPANY NAME”]

 

Then use Regular Expression or replace string to cleanup and get → COMPANY NAME

or use Get Item from Collection at index position 0 on the CompanyName


Actually, it can be done with a single Regular Expression action when the start and end anchor (the text structure) is consistent. 

The start anchor is → “result”: l“
and the end anchor is → “]}

 

String: <Your source value>

REPLACE Operation

Pattern: (.+)(\"results\":\"\+\")(.+)(\"]})

Replacement String: $3

Output: <Your output variable>


Hi @jpacheco 
Did these solve your question? 


@MillaZ ,

Hello. I’m still looking into the response and trying to get the expected result.


@Garrett ,

 

ISSUE: REMOVE all characters and grab “Trade Show” (below)

{"__metadata":{"type":"Collection(Edm.String)"},"results":u"TRADE SHOW"]}

 

I do apologize for the time it took in getting back to  this but the only success I got in this was:

1.) Creating a variable within my workflow

2.) Use Regular expression

My final result is:

 

Not sure how to remove  :r“”]}
