I need to remove the word “null” from my link.

Like, the link comes:

null79623029078/orders/9d5cd3e19ba175cc0622cf41e206c5ea

And I want:

79623029078/orders/9d5cd3e19ba175cc0622cf41e206c5ea

I already try to use the “text parser” node, but doesn´t work.

I ask the ai bot help and doesn´t work too.

I´m waiting for someone´s help.

Hey @Carlega

this null has to be always at beginneing?? If yes, you can use substring() function like {{substring(text;4;length(text))}}

Hello @Carlega,

As @Msquare_Automation suggests, if `null` comes at the start of the given URL (string), then using the `substring()` function works as you need.

But if you want to remove it from anywhere in the string, you can use the `replace()` function.

**Try this formula.**  
`{{replace("null79623029078/orders/null9d5cd3e19ba175cc0622cf41e206c5eanull"; "null"; emptystring)}}`

**Output**
