Hi @jakaur32!
If you have different string formats coming in, you will need to write conditional statements for each type of record. If there are not too many different string formats, then you can build the logic into the one formula tool as @IraWatt recommended.
Even though it is more tools, I sort of lean towards a solution like this because it is dynamic to many different expected strings of data.
In the concatenation function of the Summarize tool, you have the option to add a start, separator, and end characters:
Hope this helps!
