Extract name=value pairs from email body for insertion into Sharepoint list

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Trying to create my first flow, and I can't figure this out.

 

I have an object in Second Life that emails a couple name-value pairs on an event trigger. The email is sent text/plain, so I don't think I need to strip html. No tables. Just lines of text. The email body looks like this:

Object-Name: SansTech Scan

Region: Kirkby (262656, 257280)

Local-Position: (85, 105, 24)

 

Agent-Key = 37ff3d0e-bfc2-4402-baa3-96b16c2fa8d3

Agent-Username = timothy.mcgregor

 

The only items I care about are Agent-Key and Agent-Username. For each email I want to scrape those two values and insert them into a list. I understand the other aspects of the flow, just getting at those two values for each email is stumping me. I know it probably is going to use split() but there must be more to it.

 

The list:

Again, I understand the basics of the flow - new email to shared mailbox, subject filter, etc. That's all good. For Timestamp I'm just using the time the email arrived. That's good enough. I just need to get the Agent Key and Agent Name columns populated and I can't figure out how to do this.
