{{between_strings text string_delimiter_start string_delimiter_end flags="irxt"}}

Description

Returns a string which is the subset of text between string_delimiter_start and string_delimiter_end and not including string_delimiter_start or string_delimiter_end themselves.

If either string_delimiter_start or string_delimiter_end is not present in text, returns an empty string.

If either string_delimiter_start or string_delimiter_end is empty, throws an exception.

Arguments

text

The input string.

string_delimiter_start

The starting boundary string.

string_delimiter_end

The ending boundary string.

flags

  • i treat delimiter as not case-sensitive (default is case-sensitive)
  • r split text at last instance of string_delimiter_start and last instance of string_delimiter_end instead of the first
  • x expand located text: use the first found instance of string_delimiter_start and the last found instance of string_delimiter_end
  • t trim the final result prior to returning (remove all whitespace from beginning and end)

Examples

For the following examples, assume that email.body contains:

This is red and that is blue and that is green.

Example 1: Return text between first instance of string_delimiter_start and first instance of string_delimiter_end

{{between_strings email.body 'is' 'is' flags='t'}}

The above example will output:

red and that

Example 2: Return text between first instance of string_delimiter_start and last instance of string_delimiter_end (expanded flag)

{{between_strings email.body 'is' 'is' flags='tx'}}

The above example will output:

red and that is blue and that

Example 3: Return text between last instance of string_delimiter_start and last instance of string_delimiter_end (reverse flag)

{{between_strings email.body 'is' 'is' flags='tr'}}
