Find the length of a string to use in substring

[mark-carlisle]

I want to extract information from the body of an email and populate fields in a SharePoint. An extract of the email is follows;

Details

------------------------------------------------------------

Account Number 99999999

Contact Name Mr A N Other

Email example@domain.com

Telephone 0123456789

Incident Reference XXXXX-XXXXX

I've solved the fixed length data but I'm having issues with the varaible length data like Email. The expression I am using is;

substring(body('Html_to_text'),add(lastIndexOf(body('Html_to_text'),'Email ', 6),X)

Where 'X' will be the length of the email address which is where I'm struggling to find a way to find the length of a string.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi @mark-carlisle,

Would it be available to take use of the LastIndexof function here?

For example, if here you would like to get the Email length, then we could write the formula as this:

Sub(
LastIndexOf(body('Html_to_text'), 'Telephone'),
Add(LastIndexOf(body('Html_to_text'),'Email '), 6)
)

Regards,

That worked great.

Thanks
