    I assume this is easier with the HTML. Can you show it?

    Hi
     
    You said,
    and to make it more dificulte it is not always on the same place.
    see the pictuer down here.
     
    If your format is completely different each time, then you have to do a lot more work as you would need to identify the pattern the email uses, then use a Switch to then find the last name.
     
    It's not possible to write it for you as I do not know all the patterns you have.
    Also you should share the PRE-split data, not the split data as I have no idea why you have so many blanks or spaces because I cannot see the data.

    Hi
     
    The value you after is always at the end of the array? I am looking the example you had given, then you could use expression last() to get that value eg: Mol
     
    last(split(outputs('Html_to_text')?['body'],outputs('Compose_2')))
