Parse email body

[adehaan11]

Hey,

I have a flow that is triggered when a new structured email arrives in a shared mailbox. 

Every email that comes in will have the same format, as follows:

"

Person A: emailaddress1@example.com

Person B: emailaddress2@example.com

Dear xxx,

Blah text

Blah text

Blah text

Kind regards,

yyy

"

I would like to parse out this email body into three seperate variables that can be used later in the flow.

More specifically, 1 variable for Person A's email, 1 for Person B's email, and a third to collect the remainder of the text (From Dear xxx to kind regards yyy). 

What is the best way to go about this? 

I tried this approach https://365basics.com/microsoft-flow-parse-email-and-extract-information/

but I was having trouble seperating each line for the array.

I also took a look at https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Flows/Using-a-flow-to-extract-email-body-details/m-p/31...

but not too sure how to use the "html to text" activity and after parsing that value. 

Thanks for your help!
