Help extracting data between two points HTMLtoText

Hi All,

 

I have a flow that uses HTMLtoText and provides the below output

 

Time 16:00
Place 62 Date Avenue, Testland, Test
Date 10/05/2023

 

I am normally OK using the expression below, however when the Place contains the word 'Date' this breaks and as such I am stuck. 

 

trim(first(split(last(split(body('Html_to_text'),'Place')),'Date')))

 

 

I have looked around on here but cant seem to find anything that works, the below just errors when used with the above example.

 

trim(split(split(body('Html_to_text'),'Place')[0],'Date')[1])

 

 

As always, any and all help appreciated.

 

Thanks

    Hi @mbro0 

     

    Please use the below expression:

     

    if(greater(length(split(last(split(variables('varHTMLText'),'Place')),'Date')),2),concat(trim(split(last(split(variables('varHTMLText'),'Place')),'Date')[0]),' Date ',trim(split(last(split(variables('varHTMLText'),'Place')),'Date')[1])),trim(first(split(last(split(variables('varHTMLText'),'Place')),'Date'))))

     

    If this helps, please remember to give a 👍 and accept my solution as it will help others in the future.

     

    Thanks
