Function build!

[leo2]

can anyone help me with the following :
i have a structured task that looks like this :

" 599.0 test /LI/1 (A. Vandersmissen 1*)"

the number 599.0 is always made up of 3 digits then “.” followed by a sequence number 0…5…11 and so on . each time I make a copy of this task it has to increase the sequence number by 1. how should I handle this ? can this be done in a nested function . For example (Replace ; Regex ?? ; ???) . it doesn’t work for me . thanks in advance for your help Leo

You’ll have to do it with an iterator and aggregator. This is because the replace function does not accept a function.

You can try using a module that runs JavaScript. Usually when I want to run JavaScript, I’ll use

• 0CodeKit “Run JavaScript JS-Code” module, or
  

  

• Custom JS “Execute a Custom Javascript” module
  

  

• Dumpling AI “Run Javascript Code” module:

  Run your javascript or typescript code and get the result back

  For more information, see the official website at Dumpling AI - No-Code Toolkit for AI Automation, and https://www.make.com/en/integrations/dumplingai, and https://www.make.com/en/help/app/dumplingai in the help centre.

There may be other integrations supporting other coding languages, but I’m only familiar with JS.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.
