Hi @lightdao

Since Formatter steps are free you could do this in 2 steps.

Formatter > Text > Split

Split at (

Keep the last segment

Then

Formatter > Text > Split

Split at )

Keep the first segment

If you wanted to use Formatter > Text > Extract Pattern, try this:

\((.*?)\)

Also, you can use AI to help you format data.

When mapping variables between Zap steps, there is an AI option to format data.

Give that a try.
