Mail subject filter - how do i extract project number?

[Anonymous]

We are trying to building a workflow whereby we are detecting emails within Subject contain project #s like this:

Subject: project [25371] drawing blue print

I want to extract the project number which is any value between the pipe charcters [12345].  This is to be used for lookup for filing in a separate document set.

any help appreciated in terms of best expressions to use when a new email arrives under subject filter.

thx

Hi @Anonymous,

Could you provide more details about pipe charcters?

Do you want to extract the number contained in the subject or do you want to determine whether the subject contains a specific value?

If you want to extract the number contained in the subject, and the format is the same as your example, you may use the WDL function to extract the number.

Like：

replace(skip(split(outputs('Compose'),' ')[1],1),']','')

Please provide more details and we would provide a workaround for you.

Best Regards,

Barry
