How to add : before and after string

[MarkH1]

Hello,

I need to write an expression that adds a : before and after a string. How can I do this?

Thanks

Hello @MarkH1 ,

use the concat(...) expression. If the text is in a dynamic content, don't use the apostrophes around it.

concat(':','text',':')

Let me try this out soon and revert. Thanks!

It works well with the example and static text but when I insert dynamic content, the expression becomes invalid

For example -> 

concat(':','@outputs('Emoji_name')',':')

As I said, if it's a dynamic content remove the apostrophes. And also the @ shouldn't be there.

concat(':',outputs('Emoji_name'),':')

Let me check and revert. Thank you!
