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 different but it's always between squire brackets
e.g. Reconsider your need to travel [/consular-services/travel-advice-explained] due...
I want to simply remove the text in the square brackets along with the brackets. If I use a replace and "hard" code the string to remove (string2 in the replace function) it works fine e.g. the expression that works is below.
replace(variables('String'),'[/consular-services/travel-advice-explained] ','New Text')
However if I try to use a regex that looks for anything between square brackets in place of the "hard" coded string it fails. I know your going to say i need to escape the square brackets I am aware of this and tried a few different combinations. I even tested the expressions on various regex test tools and the expression matches but not in Flow.
examples of regex strings i tried are below. They all work in the various regex testing tools and websites but Flow doesn't work.
\[([^\]\[\r\n]*)\]
\[(.*?)\]
(\[(?:\[??[^\[]*?\]))
\[([^]]+)\]
Is there a special way to use a regex in a replace expression?
Are regex even supported in a replace expression?
Am I missing something?
