array length

[kchakor]

Hi ,

I need to verify if the array length is greater than 0 . Itry using : @greater(length(body('Get_records_sqlTable')?['value']), 0)

but the condition is alway true , even the outputs form my get_records is [] .

Thanks

Hi @kchakor,

Could we take use of the empty fucntion instead of the length?

For checking if the array is empty, we could using the following formula:

@empty(body('Get_rows')?['value'])

Which would return true if object, array, or string is empty (for array, means no elements, 0 length).

For the formula you used here, try to convert the 0 use the int function:

@greater(length(body('Get_rows')?['value']),int('0'))

See if that would help.

Regards,

Michael

Hi @kchakor,

I have a similiar problem where I am building arrays in a for each and only want to create files or tables out of them if they are not empty.  When using the function within a condition:

@not(equals(empty(variables('check')), TRUE))  or even @not(equals(empty(variables('check')), bool(1))) or even the length and greater than int(o) , because int('o') throws an expression error for me when trying to save, I still get inconsistent results.

It will not producce tables for arrays that have content, and it creates tables for empty arrays - it's just inconsistent in how it evaluates it.  What am I doing wrong here?

Hi @v-micsh-msft 

By any chance can we get current row/line number ..?
