URGENT : Azure Logic Apps : Unable to split string when delimiter is specified in a variable

Question

String splitting seems to work when the delimiter is specified thus, directly in the split code as such :

"inputs": {
"name": "partDescription",
"value": "@split(variables('emailWithoutHeader'),'myName')"
}

The following code, however does not work : (userName is a string variable where i store user name received in the trigger body)

"inputs": {
"name": "partDescription",
"value": "@split(variables('emailWithoutHeader'),variables('userName))"
}

Appreciate any help understanding how to make this code work, without hard coding any string values

Hi @Lakshmi Rajesh

It looks like you're missing an enclosing single quote (') around the variable name variables('userName) in your @split(..) statement.

I tried to quickly reproduce the issue and splitting with variable parameters is working for me as expected:

In the example above, I provide a payload of:

{  
    "delimiter":"|",  
    "parameter":"hello|world"  
}  

and get back a response of:

[  
    "hello",  
    "world"  
]  

Hope this helps, please let me know if you have any additional questions.
