Extensions enhancement - IsStrong() method added

The .IsStrong() method was added to both the System.String and System.Text.StringBuilder objects.  It allows the developer the ability to quickly check if a string is a valid strong password e.g.

"blog.cjvandyk.com Rocks!".IsStrong()

will return True.  You can limit the number of aspect matches thus:

"blog.cjvandyk.com rocks!".IsStrong(3)

which returns True because 3 of the 4 aspects are matched in upper case, lower case and special characters.  Not passing an aspect number results in all 4 being required thus:

"blog.cjvandyk.com rocks!".IsStrong()

Will return False.

will return True whereas:

"blogcjvandykcom".HasSymbol()

will return False.

How do I - Check if a field is empty in PowerAutomate?

In PowerAutomate there is a empty() function that can be used, but it doesn't work the way you think.  Take the following example from a mentee question:

In this Set variable action, we are trying to set varFundDateExists to true or false depending on if there's a value in the "RD Funded Expiration Date" control.  The attempt used here is:

@not(empty(items()?['RD_x0020_Funded_x0020_Expiration_x0020_Date']))

Unfortunately, the empty() function doesn't work as expected.  How do we solve this problem then?

I've seen this suggested solution on powerusers.microsoft.com where doing a date calculation allows you to determine if the target date field is blank:

Value(Today()) - Value(items()?['RD_x0020_Funded_x0020_Expiration_x0020_Date']) = Value(Today())

The theory is that if there is a date in the target field, the value won't match today's date and return false.  The exception to this is when the target field contains today's date in which case it will return true.

The best way to do the check is as follows:

Equals(['RD_x0020_Funded_x0020_Expiration_x0020_Date'], null)
