Removing all text between brackets

[Shafeel_07]

Hey Guys ,

i was wondering how can you remove text between multiple brackets and the brackets in flow.

for example : abc[123]def[123]ghi[123]

should end up being: abcdefghi

In a string there can be a number of brackets so want to take this into account as well. Any help you be much appreciated! 

Thanks !

Hi!
LOL, we are discussing almost the same scenario here:
https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/General-Power-Automate/Trim-String/m-p/492100#M47010
Let's assume your input string is stored in a string variable called 'myInputString'
I would do the following:
1. Initialize a variable called 'myOutputString', type string value empty
2. Add an 'Apply to each' action block, using the following expression as its input:
split(variables('myInputString'),'[')
Inside the Apply to Each, add a Condition action block:
In the left use the expression: item()
Select 'contains'
On the right add the character: ]

On the true branch, add an Append to String, variable name 'myOutputString', assign as its value the expression:
split(item(),']')[1]

Now on the false branch, add an Append to String, variable name 'myOutputString', assign as its value the expression:
item()

Finallly outside the Apply to each, add a dummy Compose action block, assigning variable myOutputString as its input. Execute the flow and inspect dummy Compose output

Hope this helps

This works perfectly - complex but took me just 10 minutes. A huge thank you, saves buying a license to a 3rd party parsing tool.
