pipeline expression

Question

Hello,
This is the path I would like to use inside the expression of dynamic source of a copy activity
folder1/subfolder1/subfolder2

@split(dataset().pFolderName,'/')[0] --> This gives folder1

Question:
How do I get the remaining of the path: subfolder1/subfolder2
I think what I really need is an expression to get everything after the first '/'
Thanks

Answer 1

Try out something like this:

@substring(pipeline().parameters.paramMyFolder,
indexOf(pipeline().parameters.paramMyFolder,'/'),
sub(length(pipeline().parameters.paramMyFolder),indexOf(pipeline().parameters.paramMyFolder,'/')))

Hey,
You can use a combination of IndexOf and Substring to achieve that.

@substring(pipeline().parameters.ABC,add(indexof(pipeline().parameters.ABC,'/'),1),sub(length(pipeline().parameters.ABC),add(indexof(pipeline().parameters.ABC,'/'),1)))

Sample code:

{
    "name": "pipeline1",
    "properties": {
        "activities": [
            {
                "name": "Set variable1",
                "type": "SetVariable",
                "dependsOn": [],
                "userProperties": [],
                "typeProperties": {
                    "variableName": "x",
                    "value": {
                        "value": "@string(indexof(pipeline().parameters.ABC,';'))",
                        "type": "Expression"
                    }
                }
            },
            {
                "name": "Set variable2",
                "type": "SetVariable",
                "dependsOn": [],
                "userProperties": [],
                "typeProperties": {
                    "variableName": "y",
                    "value": {
                        "value": "@substring(pipeline().parameters.ABC,add(indexof(pipeline().parameters.ABC,';'),1),sub(length(pipeline().parameters.ABC),add(indexof(pipeline().parameters.ABC,';'),1)))",
                        "type": "Expression"
                    }
                }
            },
            {
                "name": "Set variable3",
                "type": "SetVariable",
                "dependsOn": [],
                "userProperties": [],
                "typeProperties": {
                    "variableName": "z",
                    "value": {
                        "value": "@string(sub(length(pipeline().parameters.ABC),indexof(pipeline().parameters.ABC,';')))",
                        "type": "Expression"
                    }
                }
            }
        ],
        "parameters": {
            "ABC": {
                "type": "string",
                "defaultValue": "11;2;3;4"
            }
        },
        "variables": {
            "x": {
                "type": "String"
            },
            "y": {
                "type": "String"
            },
            "z": {
                "type": "String"
            }
        },
        "annotations": []
    }
}

Hello @arkiboys ,
Thanks for the ask and using Microsoft Q&A platform .
As we understand the ask here is to get the string "subfolder1/subfolder2" from "folder1/subfolder1/subfolder2" . Please do let me know if that not accurate.
I am in agreement with @Nandan Hegde and anonymous userChaudhari answeer , but you do this way alaso since you are already using the split function
, you can

@markus.bohland@hotmail.de (split(pipeline().parameters.paramMyFolder,'/')1,'/',split(pipeline().parameters.paramMyFolder,'/')2)

Please do let me if you have any queries .
Thanks
Himanshu
