We want to use the right side of the split, which in our example now looks like this: SW01Īs you can see, it literally splits on the given string, but doesn't do any sort of tidying up so we are left with a tab indent/white space before the device name. 0 is the left side of the split and 1 is the right side of the split. First, we split the text on 'Device Name:' Split(body('Html_to_text'), 'Device Name:')ĭoing this creates two pieces of text, 0 and 1. We can accomplish that split in several steps. Using the plain text output from the previous step, we know that the device name is between device name and device ID: : Switch Disconnected

In this step, we want to collect the device name.

You choose a block of text or array to split and an operator to split on. We are going to use the split expression, which works the same as it does in many other languages. I find I still spend many hours scratching my head about why or why not an expression works as expected. The expression language can be a bit confusing. Click Inputs, and then switch to the Expression tab.
