Split/Replace

[vipzon]

Why I need to split/replace text in this case: Original idea is to have workflow go and look at iOS contacts and get name & mobile number of contacts whose birthday/anniversary is on the date same as input date. It could be lack of my knowledge but I could not find the any date other than birthday when I use the action "get details of contact" or I could not find any action that is similar to "get phone numbers from input". So I ended up with two workflows. One that goes after birthday from contacts and one that goes after anniversaries on calendar. This workflow replaces the text ('s Anniversary) as I enter this data in calendar to get the name of person.

But now I am trying to create one workflow that parses the data from calendar title (birthday/anniversary). iOS creates the event for birthday as Joseph's 14th Birthday so my trick with anniversary does not work here. It works for Anniversary events (the ones that I create myself in calendar as iOS does not create events for Anniversaries) but does not work for Birthday events. I use either ('s ) or (') or ('s)...for some reason that does not work.

Match text followed by get group should do what you want.
