Exclude certain elements from Array

Question

Hey,
I have an variable of type Array as seen below :

I need to copy that value as string in another variable of type:String excluding Column values.

Note: the array is random and the only thing which is same is Column value and all other value names can be random like type etc.

So how to exclude that particular element

Hi @Nandan Hegde ,

Thank you for posting query on Microsoft Q&A Platform.

Assuming your column values always be in first position of array. If would like to take "type:int64" key value as string in to another variable? If yes you can try to use below expression.
@string(variables('<array variable name>')[1])

If you there is no guarantee that Column key will be in first position, then may be consider taking all array values as string in variable and then use replace() function to replace column values with empty.

Hope this will help. Please let us know if any further queries.
