Extracting text from email

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Uddinf 11

hi 

 

I have managed to extract text from one point to another - I used Html to text and by using Compose : 

trim(first(split(last(split(body('Html_to_text'),'When will this happen:')),'How this will affect your organization:'))) that seems to work .
However trying to extract some text without capturing links/logos from the email - For example see screen shot I would like to grab all the text before 'When this will happen' and also not include the Microsoft Logo... Any ideas ?

I tried to use 'Filter array'

and compose : 

join(split(body('Filter_array')[4], ' '), ' ') - Not working

    Hi @Uddinf ,

     

    I suggest you to add a 'Convert HTML to text' to convert the email into plain text and then use the split function to get the string before 'When this will happen:'.

    And using Split function 

    join(split(body('Filter_array')[2], ' '), ' ')

     

    This is the complete flow :

    My aim is that I do not want to pick up the Microsoft logo on the top of the email. just want to extract the heading text.
