Get+split split a string and get the first element

Mitch_Silverman · November 3, 2024, 3:33am

why isn’t this working? {{get(split(23.desc + “┆”; 1))}}
I am just trying to split a string and get the first element.

Looks like you are missing a semi-colon after your description, and the close bracket for the split function is in the wrong place.

The function split has two parameters, and without this semicolon you only have one parameter.

Currently you have

{{ get(split(23.desc + "┆"; 1)) }}

It should be something like

{{ get(split(23.desc; "┆"); 1) }}
                    ^    ^

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

If you need further assistance, please provide the following:

Please provide the output bundles of the modules by running the scenario (or get from the scenario History tab), then click the white speech bubble on the top-right of each module and select “Download input/output bundles”.

A. Upload as Text File

Save each bundle contents in your text editor as a bundle.txt file, and upload it here into this discussion thread.

B. Insert as Formatted Code Block

If you are unable to upload files on this forum, alternatively you can paste the formatted bundles.
These are the two ways to format text so that it won’t be modified by the forum:

Method 1: Type code block manually

Add three backticks ``` before and after the content/bundle, like this:

```
^{content goes here}
```
Method 2. Highlight and click the format button in the editor

Providing the input/output bundles will allow others to replicate what is going on in the scenario even if they do not use the external service.

This will allow others to better assist you. Thanks!
