Not elegant but demo's the point. Not sure if there is a proper function or not as i've not had chance to play with 16.3 yet

= load(
local!myText: tostring(getcontentobjectdetailsbyid( cons!YourConstant))
,
local!NamePos: find("Name:", myText )
,
local!UUIDPos: find("UUID:", myText )
,
local!myTextLen: len(local!myText)

,

mid(local!myText, local!NamePos +5, local!UUIDPos - local!NamePos - 7 )

)
