Automation: How to extract a specific text from description

Question

The issue Description is like the one in the example below.

I'd like to extract only Text2 from Device.

Which expression can I use?

Description :

Date
Text1
 
Device
Text2
Text3

Location
Text4
Text5
Text6

I tried substringBetween(Device,Location) but it captures both Text2 and Text3. I want only Text2. Is there any way to capture the line after Device

@Bill Sheboy @Alexis Robert  - Below script worked. Thank you!

{{issue.description.substringAfter("Device").split("
").get(0).trim()}}

If possible can you please share the script with match() function.

Hi @Creative Ideas -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Adding to Alexis's answer...

Your description appears to contain newlines (line feeds) and so building on the earlier suggestion, the result could be split() and then grab the first result.

For example:

{{issue.description.substringAfter("Device").split("
").get(0).trim()}}

To learn more about these text and list functions, please review this documentation:

* https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-smart-values-text-fields/#split-String-separator-
* https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-smart-values-lists/#list.get-index-
* https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-smart-values-text-fields/#trim--

This may also be possible to do in one step with the match() function, using a regular expression.

Kind regards,
Bill
