Trying to pull text from variable with matching string

How to I get tasker to decide which one is the variable to use in order to email the vaule of 15005K?

I am trying to pull the text from whichever variable has the matching string of *KT . In the example below the value is 15005K. My problem is the *KT string can be in the 3 (%raw213) or 4 (%raw214) position at any given time. Therefore I can't assign a specific variable when trying to pull the text.

Here are two examples of the %raw21 variable. I need the *KT value to be emailed.

KCLL 231253Z 15005K 10SM CLR 13/12 A2974 RMK AO2 SLP067 T01280117
%raw21(#?*KT) = 3
%raw213 = 15005K

KCLL 231253Z AUTO 15005K 10SM CLR 13/12 A2974 RMK AO2 SLP067 T01280117
%raw21(#?*KT) = 4
%raw214 = 15005K

I am a little lost. Can you please simplify what the objective is and your Tasker sample.

Something like ... I can have a string of ...

A A A 8 A A
or
B B 8 B B B
or
C C C C C C

I need to find the string 8 and return the position
4
3
0

... Thom
 
I figured it out last night.



The solution is to wrap the variable in parentheses

To prepare the task I

Variable Set %winds to %raw21(#?*KT) = 3​

%raw21(%winds) %raw21(3) pulls the third item from the array.
