Extracting a word before new line

[KarlChristopher]

Honestly, I am not sure if what I am doing is right, very new with MS Flow.

Anyway,

I have email regarding routers etc.

Usually the email consists of:

Affected CI: abcd.router.net

Assignment Group: abcdef

I would like to assign the abcd.router.net to a variable so I could check the SharePoint list if there is already an entry regarding that CI.

Hi @KarlChristopher,

Do you want to extract the Affected CI from the email body? Do all the emails always have the same format?

Please take the following flow for a reference.

The flow is triggered by When an email arrives with the following email body.

Add an action to convert email body to text.

Add a Compose action, use the following code:

length(body('Html_to_text'))

Add a Compose 2 action, use the following code:

add(indexOf(body('Html_to_text'),'Assignment Group'),6)

Add a Compose 3 action, use the following code:

substring(body('Html_to_text'),12,sub(outputs('Compose'),outputs('Compose_2')))

Then it will return the Affected CI as expected. Please check the following screenshots.

Best regards,

Mabel Mao

Hello, thank you for the solution. However, I realized that the email I am extracting is actually encrypted or something when trying to do an HTML to text, hence I did very similar things than your solution but I only did it on one expression

That is a good solution, however I do not always know the contents of the next line. I  there a way to do it by finding the next neline character? "/n" will return an error because it is searching the entire document for newlines.
