Hello, dear EasyMorph team!

Hello Ilya,

In the EasyMorph Help for the Keepbetween function ([KeepBetween(text, keep\_start, keep\_end) [EasyMorph Help]](https://help.easymorph.com/doku.php?id=syntax:functions:keepbetween)), the following is stated:

> - If _keep\_start_ is not found within _text_, all text from the start of _text_ to _keep\_end_.
> - If _keep\_end_ is not found within _text_, all text from the _keep\_start_ to the end of _text_ is returned.
> - If neither _keep\_start_ nor _keep\_end_ are found within _text_, an (empty) value is returned.

That is why you are getting those results. I would say you have two options here:

- If you are familiar with Regex, I would use RegexMatch ([RegExMatch(text, regex\_text) [EasyMorph Help]](https://help.easymorph.com/doku.php?id=syntax:functions:regexmatch&s%5B%5D=regex))

- Use keepAfter and keepBefore together, for example:  
` keepBefore(keepAfter([Column 1],"src="&char(34)),char(34))`  
([KeepAfter(text, after\_string) [EasyMorph Help]](https://help.easymorph.com/doku.php?id=syntax:functions:keepafter&s%5B%5D=keepafter))  
([KeepBefore(text, before\_string) [EasyMorph Help]](https://help.easymorph.com/doku.php?id=syntax:functions:keepbefore))

Regards!

Thanks Roberto! As a result, I decided to use the second option.
