How to shorten text with split & regex

Hey Text Blaze community! :wave:

Have you ever used our site selector? It helps you read data from any tab & use it in your snippets.

One common question we get is "how do I shorten the text to get only what I need?"

If you are reading data with the site selector, you can use the split function as well as regular expressions (regex) to shorten the text and get only the parts of it that you need.

For example, if you are reading someone's name from LinkedIn, and just want to include the first name in your message, you can use these functions to shorten the text and get only the first name :slight_smile:

Here are two quick videos that show you how to do it:
