Dear Community Members,
We are switching from Zapier to Make but can’t figure out we can use the ‘split text’ function of Zapier in Make.com.
We use the ‘split text’ function to extract from a Wordpress RSS feed the 2nd, 3rd and 4th image within a Wordpress blog post (i.e. NOT the featured image) to create follow-up social media posts, e.g. on Instagram, with the same text but different images on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th day.
How would you recommend that we create something similar in Make.com?
Many thanks for your help with this.

Welcome to the Make community!
You can use a Text Parser “Match Pattern” module with this Pattern (regular expression):
<img[^<]+?src="(?<image>[^"]+?)"
Proof
Important Info
Global match must be set to YES!
For more information, see Text Parser in the Make Help Center:
Match Pattern
The Match pattern module enables you to find and extract string elements matching a search pattern from a given text. The search pattern is a regular expression (aka regex or regexp), which is a sequence of characters in which each character is either a metacharacter, having a special meaning, or a regular character that has a literal meaning.
- The complete list of metacharacters can be found on the MDN web docs website.
- For a tutorial on how to create regular expressions, we recommend the RegexOne website.
- For an easy, quick regex generator, try the Regular Expressions generator.
- For experimenting with regular expressions, we recommend the regular expressions 101 website. Just make sure to tick the ECMAScript (JavaScript) FLAVOR in the left panel.
Hope this helps!
