I'm using Zapier to pull dollar amounts out of emailed invoices to process them.
My first step in Zapier is a new email matching a search query, and I am able to get it to find the right email fine. To pull the $ amount out, I run a second step, Formatter by Zapier, and use transform -> extract pattern. For the regex pattern, I thought ^\$(([1-9]\d{0,2}(,\d{3})*)|(([1-9]\d*)?\d))(\.\d\d)?$
would work - but it's turning up false/no data.
Any one have any ideas that I should try? I'm admittedly not great at regex so I may have made a mistake above, so really appreciate any advice!
I would want to be able to pull any dollar amount format; but, the email will only have 1 per email, so it would just need to pull the first/only instance of the dollar amount in the email; it is in the body text of the email, and in format of either $X.XX, $XX.XX, $XXX.XX, or $X,XXX.XX (depends each instance).
Thank you!
Could you try using this
[\$ ]+?(\d+([,\.\d]+)?)
I ran some basic tests using the examples you gave and this should work. Alternatively, you may be able to get this out by using two Formatter - Split steps. One with a "$" delimiter, another with a " " blank space.
The first Index should be the result you're looking for there.
