Parse text in Azure Logic Apps

I want to create Azure Logic App which will constantly request a specific website on the Internet and parse received HTML.

I've created Logic App and set up interval and HTTP request action.

Which action should I choose as the next step for simple regex operation on HTML code?

What comes to my mind is creating Azure Function which will do the job, but I wonder if there is any other solution, more suitable for such task.

I want it the be simple as possible.

Edit:

Just found out some cool feature. Logic Apps contain some basic expressions for primitive types.

Unfortunetly it lacks of any regex or string.contains.

For now, I'll try with Azure Functions.

This is my function to use for replacing text in a string. this is reusable and the approach can be used for many similar type of aspects of working in Logic Apps:

using System.Net;

public static async Task<HttpResponseMessage> Run(HttpRequestMessage req, TraceWriter log)
{
    dynamic data = await req.Content.ReadAsAsync<object>();
    string removeme = data?.removeme;
    string replacewith = data?.replacewith;
    string value = data?.value;

    return req.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, value.Replace(removeme, replacewith));
}

I would then post an object like this from my logic app:

{
    "removeme": "SKU-",
    "replacewith": "P-",
    "value": "SKU-37378633"
}

... to get the result: "P-37378633"
