Help with flow action getting comment and removing some default text

[Moedeb]

Ok, so I'm creating a flow action that gets the last comment - that part works fine, however it shows like this:

Ultimately I want to only use the text after the (Comments) part like:

This line removed:

The script I have currently is not showing anything after it tries to remove the text.

var str = inputs.full_comment;

str = str.substring(str.indexOf(")") + 1) 

outputs.comment = str;

With my input being called "full_comment 

My output being called "comment"

I can see in the results that it is getting the full comment, but then not showing any text as a output "comment"

Also, a more robust solution would be to use the new line character as the marker for where the first line ends, not the ")" character which may potentially be included in the user's name, given you issues. So instead, I'd suggest:

(function execute(inputs, outputs) {
    var fullComment = inputs.approval_record.comments.getJournalEntry(1);
    var trimmedComment = fullComment.replace(/.*\n/, '');
    outputs.comment = trimmedComment;
})(inputs, outputs);

Hello @Moedeb 

Something like this...

Newcomments = inputs.full_comments.getJournalEntry(1).match(/\n.*/gm).join('').replace(/^\s*\n/gm

Please refer the below thread:

Please mark the answer as helpful and correct if helped. 

Kind Regards,

It doesn't like that at all, for some reason thinks there should be another bracket at the end.
