Using Split to extract subsctring

[Lisa Mendonsa]

Hi everyone

I have a string (Jira Summary) that might look like this

<Some text> - <some more text> - <ID>

OR

<Some text> - <ID>

I basically want to get the value of the ID after the last '-'. 

If I use split() function, how can I reference the last occurrence/item in the returned list?

Thanks in advance

Lisa

Hi @Lisa Mendonsa 

Have you tried using the substringAfterLast() function?

Kind regards,

Thank you, I managed to get this working using  {{issue.summary.split("-").Last().trim()}}

As you solved this one yourself, I recommend adding another answer to the question and then accepting it.  That will help others with a similar need find solutions faster.

Thanks!
