What does the Get subtext action do in Power Automate?

The Get subtext action in Power Automate is designed to retrieve a specific portion of a text value or variable. When this action is executed, it allows you to extract a substring based on defined parameters, such as starting position and length. The extracted portion can then be stored in a new variable for further use in your automation process.

This functionality is particularly useful in scenarios where only a segment of a string is needed for processing, allowing for targeted manipulation of text data without altering the original string. By storing the extracted subtext in a new variable, you maintain the integrity of the original text while still being able to work with the necessary part of it. This is crucial in data manipulation tasks, where preserving the original input can be important for subsequent operations or validation.
