Action: Text Manipulation

This action can be used to perform basic string manipulation on a text string.

Note
The replace text and extract text functions support the use of regex.

Substring
Returns a sub-section of the text defined by the supplied start and end indexes. The first character starts at index 0 and the last index is excluded. (To get the first character use values 0 and 1.)
Example Usage
"hello i am using macrodroid app"
To obtain the word Macrodroid we will use the initial position 17 and last position 27 and as a result we will have the value "Macrodroid".

Replace all
Uses a regular expression to replace matching text with the supplied new text.
Example Usage
Source text = Hello, how are you?.
the text to replace is "hello".
the new text is "hi"
The end result will be, "hi, how are you?".

Extract text
Uses a regular expression to match and extract a section from the text.
Example Usage
My phone number is 1234567890
Extract the expression "[0-9]". This will give a final result of the extraction of the phone number.

Upper case
Converts the text to all upper case characters.
Example Usage
Source text
"Macrodroid is my app to automate my device".
Final result "MACRODROID IS MY APP TO AUTOMATE MY DEVICE".

Lower case
Converts the text to all lower case characters.
Example Usage
Source text
"MACRODROID IS MY APP TO AUTOMATE MY DEVICE".
Final result
"macrodroid is my app to automate my device".

Trim whitespase
Removes any leading/trailing whitespace from the text.
