Question

Extracting hours after day in a string using connector

I have data for hours coming in this format

 

{Sun|07:00-13:00}{Tue|07:00-13:00}{Wed|07:00-13:00}{Thu|07:00-13:00}{Fri|07:00-13:00}{Sat|07:00-13:00}

 

I need it in an output that I can map to 7 separate fields (Monday hours, Tuesday hours, etc.)

I can’t just use a separator because not every day is always represented. I need someway to say Find SUN and give me back the next 11 characters and if it doesn’t find SUN, to give back blank or 00:00-00:00

Try this JavaScript in a Code step: https://zapier.com/apps/code/help

 

CONFIG

 

CODE

let DaysHours = inputData.DaysHours;
if (DaysHours) {
  DaysHours = DaysHours.slice(1).slice(0,-1);
  DaysHours = DaysHours.split("}{");
}

let HoursMonday = "";
let HoursTuesday = "";
let HoursWednesday = "";
let HoursThursday = "";
let HoursFriday = "";
let HoursSaturday = "";
let HoursSunday = "";

for (let i = 0; i < DaysHours.length; i++) {
  if (DaysHours[i].includes("Mon|")) {
    HoursMonday = DaysHours[i].split("|")[1];
  }
  if (DaysHours[i].includes("Tue|")) {
    HoursTuesday = DaysHours[i].split("|")[1];
  }
  if (DaysHours[i].includes("Wed|")) {
    HoursWednesday = DaysHours[i].split("|")[1];
  }
  if (DaysHours[i].includes("Thu|")) {
    HoursThursday = DaysHours[i].split("|")[1];
  }
  if (DaysHours[i].includes("Fri|")) {
    HoursFriday = DaysHours[i].split("|")[1];
  }
  if (DaysHours[i].includes("Sat|")) {
    HoursSaturday = DaysHours[i].split("|")[1];
  }
  if (DaysHours[i].includes("Sun|")) {
    HoursSunday = DaysHours[i].split("|")[1];
  }
}

output = [{HoursMonday, HoursTuesday, HoursWednesday, HoursThursday, HoursFriday, HoursSaturday, HoursSunday, DaysHours}];
