Extract Data From HTML Table With Nested Rows

How To
1

I’m trying to extract data from an HTML table that’s coming in through an email. I’ve tried using Regex and the text version but that’s not working despite validating on regex testers.

I’m now using the text parser and deprecated “extract from html table” which retrieves the data with nested tables, rows and columns, which is hard for me to use. So I’m trying to use the Iterator module but I haven’t been able to set it up correctly since it’s a nested array and that’s puzzling me.

Here’s an example HTML that I’m trying to work with. I’m specifically trying to extract the values of “order number”, “customer email”, “customer name”, “comments”, and “star rating”.

<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#f6f6f6">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>A customer has left you feedback from their order.</td>
<td width="580">
<div>
<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<h1>Customer 2494157 sent feedback</h1>
<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><img src="https://s3-us-west-2/logoEmail.png" alt="" width="70" /></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<table border="0" width="80%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Order Number</td>
<td>6651</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Customer Email</td>
<td>family98@gmail.com</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Customer Name</td>
<td>John Smith</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Comments</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Star Rating</td>
<td>5</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<p>-  Laundry Team</p>
</td>
</tr>
 </tbody>
</table>

I’d appreciate help. I’m pretty lost at this point.

Hi @Lloyd_Silver

Utilize the “Text Parser: Match Pattern” with the following regular expression pattern:
Order Number\s*(\d+)[\s\S]+?Customer Email\s*([^\n]+)[\s\S]+?Customer Name\s*([^\n]+)[\s\S]+?Comments\s*([\s\S]+?)Star Rating\s*(\d+)

After applying the above pattern, the extracted information will include the Order Number, Customer Email, Customer Name, Comments, and Star Rating.

To better understand the process, refer to the provided image.

Thank you! I’ve literally spent hours on this and have had an open ticket with Make for weeks testing Regex that validated and worked correctly on testing tools but not in Make. This worked perfectly!
