Using regex to match a sting in a replace function
Hoping someone can help me with an issue. I have some text that comes from an RSS feed that I post to Yammer using Flow. The source randomly includes text between square brackets. The text is diff...

Damien_Rosario thanks for the input. After literally wasting half a day trying to get regex to work i found one entry in Google that appears to indicate regex is not supported natively. Can't imagine why its not but there you go.
Thanks for your suggestion I was able to get it to work within Flow using splits and concatenates its just 8 steps long which seem crazy when it could be done in one replace if only regex was supported.

Hi lfkentwell
Yup, not currently supported which is a shame.
Yeah the workaround you mentioned, or mine, etc are the way to go for now. It gets a result!
Best wishes with your Power Automate work.
Cheers
Damien
