How can I use Formatter to extract part of an email body in Gmail to save in Dropbox?

Question

First time here - thanks in advance!I have a zap that saves the body of select email messages in Gmail as a new text file in Dropbox. I'm trying to revise the zap with formatter so only the middle portion of the email body is saved in the text file.The output I want is the middle portion of the body, which is between two parts of the emails that are always the same, but different than each other (StaticText1 and StaticText2 below). The output text would include numbers & punctuation, if that makes a difference. It doesn’t matter if the Static Texts are included in the output or not. This is the format of the email body:(blank space)(email signature)(SOLID LINE)(email forwarding info)StaticText1(main body of email I want)StaticText2(A lot more stuff I don’t need)

Hi @jacob-DASGood question.Try these Zap actions:Action: Formatter > Text > SplitSplit on the first value and keep the last segmentAction: Formatter > Text > SplitSplit on the second value and keep the first segmentNOTE: These could be done using 1 Code step.

Thanks a lot. I hadn’t thought of breaking it down into 2 actions.
