Extract specific data from array

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Scralane 2

Hello

 

I’m trying to captivate information from a new mail into planner.
The details in a mail, description/ instructions are variable in lenght.
But I’m struggling to extract specific part of the mail from an array.


Has anyone done this before ?

Kind regards

    Can you provide an example?

    I work at a helpdesk.
    They send me mails with information about a problem.
    I send this mail to a map. This map is imported in Microsoft flow.
    The body of the mail contains a lot of extra information. I just need a specific part of the body.
    I already tried splitting. But this is for mostly 1 word and have a few sentences a mail i need to cover...
    So i tried to filter an array. I get all info but i lack the filter part to that exact part of the details i need.
    Every mail is different so I can't specify it with line numbers...
    I only need this part of the array and nothing else:
