Extract URL

May I know, what is the easier way to extract the URL out from the JSON result?

Example From:

text:https://www.facebook.com/121790674546188_5691115404280326|AsiaOne\n\nAnalysts are already forecasting property price increases of up to 3% for some of these areas with the announcement. By the time the stations are completed in 2032, they estimate a 5-15% increase.

I only want the URL potion without the |AsiaOne

Hey @Issac_Chua,

Welcome to the community :cake:

As a quick solution you could use .split() and split on the | so you would have something like {{ $json["text"].split('|')[0] }} which would return the URL and if you used {{ $json["text"].split('|')[1] }} you would get the rest of the data.

Thank you Jon, let me go try it out :slight_smile:

Hi Jon,

The code work, however, I have another entry, and the result appears to be

@asiaonecom <3 insights from the recently announced Phase 2 Cross Island Line MRT stations you might have missed, Money News - AsiaOne

This is after using the .spilt, so how can I further remove away the @asiaonecom <

Would appreciate if you can give me some advice. Thank you.

Hey @Issac_Chua,

Looks like we might need to get a bit more creative :slight_smile: do you have a more complete list of data I can play with?

Hey @Issac_Chua,

Give this a bash, There is an expression in the Set node that would do it or a function for if anything gets crazier.

Ok, Thanks Jon. I will give it a try

Hi Jon, I am trying to retain this part of the message. Been trying to play around with the code… but not be able to get any closer or success. Any advice?

Try {{ $json["attachments"][0]["text"].split('\n\n')[1] }}, With that data we can split on the new line characters. That will then get you something like this

Thanks, Jon. I am all good now.
