Enterprise Integration with Azure Logic Apps

By: Matthew Bennett

Overview of this book

Logic Apps are a visual flowchart-like representation of common programming actions, and are a flexible way to create logic without writing a single line of code. Enterprise Integration with Azure Logic Apps is a comprehensive introduction for anyone new to Logic Apps which will boost your learning skills and allow you to create rich, complex, structured, and reusable logic with instant results. You'll begin by discovering how to navigate the Azure portal and understand how your objects can be zoned to a specific environment by using resource groups. Complete with hands-on tutorials, projects, and self-assessment questions, this easy-to-follow guide will teach you the benefits and foundations of Logic App logic design. As you advance, you'll find out how to manage your Azure environment in relation to Logic Apps and how to create elegant and reliable Logic Apps. With useful and practical explanations of how to get the most out of Logic App actions and triggers, you'll be able to ensure that your Logic Apps work efficiently and provide seamless integration for real-world scenarios without having to write code. By the end of this Logic Apps book, you'll be able to create complex and powerful Logic Apps within minutes, integrating large amounts of data on demand, enhancing your systems, and linking applications to improve user experience.

Chapter 5: Manipulating Data

Now that you are starting to use logic apps, we will look at more complex text and numerical data manipulations that are commonly used by developers. You will learn how to perform calculations, concatenate text, split a string, count the length of a string, and index the position of a word or character within a string.

In this chapter, you will learn how to:

  • Manipulate text and numerical data
  • Split complex and long strings into separate sections for further processing

In this chapter, we will cover the following main areas:

  • Performing basic mathematical operations
  • Combining text
  • Splitting a string at a certain point
  • Counting the length of a string
  • Indexing the position of a character in a string
