How to Extract Values from Gmail Body using Google Apps Script against Each Key Value?

Question

I am regularly getting emails from the bank regarding Rates of buying and selling against different funds, I want to extract the fund values from the email body and paste them into my google sheets on daily basis to analyze their ups and downs.

Till now what I achieve is extracted the email body as plain text and tried with praise and regex but failed to achieve only values.

below is my Code.

 function NBPFundUpdate(){ // SKIP TO OUT OF OFFICE HOURS AND DAYS var nowH=new Date().getHours(); var nowD=new Date().getDay(); //Logger.log(nowD); //Logger.log('day: '+nowD+' Hours: '+nowH) if (nowH>19||nowH<8||nowD==0) { return } //if (nowH>17||nowH<8||nowD==6||nowD==0) { return } var sourceSpreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive(); var sourceSheet = sourceSpreadsheet.getActiveSheet(); // START OPERATION var Gmail = GmailApp; var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet(); var sheet = ss.getActiveSheet(); var MasterSheet = ss.getSheetByName("Master"); var index = 2; var aa = 0; var na = 0; // SEARCH EMAIL var query = 'from: no-reply@nbpfunds.net, subject: NBP FUNDS NAV'; var threadsNew = Gmail.search(query); Logger.log(threadsNew.length); //check if thread found or not if (threadsNew.length ==0) { return } var lastscantime = threadsNew[0].getLastMessageDate(); var master = ss.getSheetByName("Master"); master.getRange("Z1").setValue(lastscantime); Logger.log(lastscantime); //loop all emails for(var n in threadsNew){ var thdNew = threadsNew[n]; var msgsNew = thdNew.getMessages(); var msgNew = msgsNew[msgsNew.length-1]; // GET ATTACHMENT var bodyNew = msgNew.getBody(); var plainbody = msgNew.getPlainBody(); var subject = msgNew.getSubject(); var Etime = msgNew.getDate(); Logger.log(Etime); Logger.log(subject); Logger.log(plainbody); var NGSLFbuying = /NBP GOVERNMENT SECURITIES LIQUID FUND\n(.*?)$/gm.exec(plainbody); Logger.log(NGSLFbuying); var NGSLFSelling = /NBP GOVERNMENT SECURITIES LIQUID FUND\n(.*?)$/gm.exec(plainbody); Logger.log(NGSLFSelling); } }

The Result of Logger.log(plainbody); is below.

result of Logger.log(NGSLFbuying); is null see below image Screenshot

For your reference, I want the final result should look like this in my google spreadsheet;

If somebuddy help me to achive this, shall be very thankfull to him / her.

You are using \n but there is no line break before the prices.

 const plainbody = `something before NBP GOVERNMENT SECURITIES LIQUID FUND 1 2 something after`; const [line, buy, sell] = /NBP GOVERNMENT SECURITIES LIQUID FUND (.*?) (.*?)$/gm.exec(plainbody); console.log(line); console.log(buy); console.log(sell);
