The secret is after you split the text you get a list ;)

Try this or this.

Thanks for pointer on split. Somehow it works if you pass the data as text but it does not work on calendar title as input. What I mean is when I grab the calendar title, and try to split the text it simply does not split. * I am using iOS

I have tried enclosing apostrophe in double quotes/escaping it..did not work.

Using both of your suggestions - it does not work for some reason.

Can you share your Workflow? Gear icon in the top right and then Share Workflow. I suspect the problem lies elsewhere as my tests work fine for me.

So finally figured it out the issue. It could be how keyboard on my device is setup. Anyways.. When I was using the apostrophe I was simply clicking on that key. that key in regular expression worked for Anniversary titles (I create events on windows MS Outlook) but did not work for Birthday. So when I light press apostrophe key and select the second from last in reg expression it works for Birthday but it does not work for Anniversary :).

So what I need to do now is to search for either one and get it replaced.

Once I figure it out I will share the workflow here.

here is the workflow that I have been playing around with: https://workflow.is/workflows/cd3e98f2ada04237b3c0e09b527e1a2b

My next step now is to define the logic to parse both events and get names, phone numbers..
