Hello, I am relatively new to make, I’ve played around with some scenarios and completed up to the intermediate level course in make academy. I am currently working on a test project for my boss to see if make is a suitable option for a job she wants done. I’ve written a mock email to myself that includes a table with info on a book in it. I want to extract the ISBN code from the email using the text parser, but no matter what I try I only get an empty output. My general email is: Hi name, I was scrolling on indigo and found a book you might want to read. The table below has some details but go on indigo to view the actual book description. | Author | Title | Date Found | Price | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Denise Robbins | 9781964721064 | 03/06/25 | 24.99 | Here is a photo of the email as well: ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/2/9/290368a16cea1aa1bb6349cb4e1047f3906f337e.png) Thank you to any advice or suggestions! ---

Is the email wrapped in HTML code? If so, you can just use the match element text parser and if it’s not, it’s recommended that you wrap your entire email in HTML code to easily manipulate the data in [make.com](http://make.com) ---

It is not, how would I go about doing this? ---

Hey Natalie, can you show us the output bundle of the module that is giving you the email? ---

You can try Adeniji’s suggestion and use the HTML content string to try and get it from there. Or you can try with a text parser to match the items after Author Title etc. row and get it that way. ---
