Get data from text

[winnt]

Hello,
I want to ask you for help, because I haven’t been able to do this for several days.

I receive a text message with the following content:

Name: John Smith
Email: sitelab@gmail.com
Phone: 0952145879
Business: Marketing agency
Message: I’m interested in your services

I need to divide this text into separate parts with a map, so that in the next module (for example, create a lead in the CRM) I can choose which data to insert into which fields, or for example, select which data from this application I should send to the messenger.

But I can’t figure out how to do it((
Please tell me, thank you!

Welcome to the Make community!

You can use a Text Parser “Match Pattern” module with this regular expression pattern

Name: (?<name>[^\n]+)[\n\r]+Email: (?<email>[^\n]+)[\n\r]+Phone: (?<phone>[^\n]+)[\n\r]+Business: (?<business>[^\n]+)[\n\r]+Message: (?<message>[^\n]+)

Regex test: https://regex101.com/r/Ti3Y9F

Important Info

• Global match must be set to NO!

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!

Thank you very much for the detailed answer!
I’m a newbie and just learning how to work with make.com tools.
I copied the regular expression you wrote and got the error:

Perhaps I did something wrong?

Hi @winnt ,

I also tried and I also had a problem.
To solve it, I have copied the regex from this URL: regex101: build, test, and debug regex given by @samliew

/Name: (?<name>[^\n]+)[\n\r]+Email: (?<email>[^\n]+)[\n\r]+Phone: (?<phone>[^\n]+)[\n\r]+Business: (?<business>[^\n]+)[\n\r]+Message: (?<message>[^\n]+)/gm

The regex given here is not correct.

Thank you!
Now everything works)

Hi @winnt and @Michaela

The solution goes to @samliew , he just made a error with a cut/paste, the regex was right in the testing tool.
