How to extract string between two Characters/tags
This blog will explain the procedure one has to go through to extract string between two Characters/tags.
As we want to read Type tag from this is inside the entities tag. Read
<Type>Vendor</Type>
Find the first character position which would be like
add(int(indexOf(outputs('Compose_-_entity_list_xml'), '<Type>')), 0)
Find the last character position which would be like
add(int(indexOf(outputs('Compose_-_entity_list_xml'), '</Type>')), 7)
Find the total character in between first and last
sub(outputs('Compose_-_LastPosition_5'), outputs('Compose_-_Position_5'))
Compose the complete string “<Type>Vendor</Type>”
substring(outputs('Compose_-_entity_list_xml'), outputs('Compose_-_Position_5'), outputs('Compose_-_LastIndex_5'))
