Postman Get response in a variable - Special character

Question

Taking into account the result of a POST request

{
    "<Id>k__Field": "ac12432e-b1fb-4c46-9aed-9d7e246bf613"  
}

I need to get this result in a variable inside Postman:

But it is throwing an error.

How can I get the value in a correct way?

what s the `` supposed to be, both logically and syntactically? — luk2302, May 31 '21 at 08:53
comes in the response, for some reason the editor was omiting it, I have added blank spaces to clarify — DanielV, May 31 '21 at 08:56

Looks like you should just omit Id altogether as it isn't in the JSON.

var id = jsonData.k__Field;

Also <Id> is not valid JS syntax

You should use:

var id = jsonData["<Id>k__Field"];

this is not correct, k__Field comes with the response – DanielV May 31 '21 at 08:58
Ok. You may want to use square bracket notation. – Jake C May 31 '21 at 09:00
