Useful Tools & Suggestions:

If you’re grabbing the tail of a text block, Head Text is the natural counterpart it helps you pull the beginning instead. To prep your content before slicing, Trim Text can clean up any leading or trailing spaces so your extracted section is neat and accurate. It’s a quick way to isolate the end of a file, paragraph, or list without extra clutter.
