0:00 Create Strings to Work With
We initialize two variables - both of the type string. Then, we will apply our Power Automate functions to these strings.

2:03 concat
The concat function combines text.

5:06 substring
The substring function returns characters from a specified position. It's optional to set an ending position.

9:25 slice
The Slice string function in Power Automate is an improvement to the Substring. For the starting position, you can use negative numbers - which lets you extract characters from the end of the string.

12:52 replace
The replace function substitute one string with another string inside a string.

15:11 toUpper
When comparing two strings from different systems, its helpful to transform them to upper (or lower) cases using the Power Automate string function, toUpper/toLower.

16:35 indexOf
Search for a string inside a string and return the index of the first occurrence.

18:25 nthIndexOf
Search for the nth occurrence of a string inside a string with this string function.

21:02 lastIndexOf
Search for the last occurrence of a string in a string with the lastIndex string function.

22:40 startsWith
Check if a string starts with a text. Returns a boolean - true or false.

24:33 split
A split function splits a string by a separator into an array of strings. This array can be referred to by an index or an Apply to each action.

30:36 trim
A trim removes whitespace at the start and end of a text.
