I’m attempting to strip the user, date, lazyapproval, email address and other things from the Approvers Comment.

Solution:

Do you know of an easier way or the values to enter in to the Regular Expression action?  The goal is to return just the comments entered on the approval screen.

Regular expression action 1:

Pattern: ^.*[\S].*[\s]

Mode: Replace text

Replacement text: leave empty

Input text: {Common:LastApproverComments}

Store result in ApproverComments workflow var

Follow by Regular Expression action 2:

Pattern: ^\(.+\)\s

Mode: Replace text

Replacement text: Leave empty

Input text: {WorkflowVariable:ApproverComments}

Store result in ApproverComments workflow var

You can stop here if LazyApproval is disabled. If you are using LazyApproval as well:

Regular Expression action 3:

Pattern: \s*_{7,}

Mode: Split

Input text: {WorkflowVariable:ApproverComments}

Store result in: A collection variable

Finally use a Collection Operation to pull out the first item of the collection.
