How to extract values from a http response (non-json)

Configuration
1

I have an api which returns the following response (example):

<0;99;99;99;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0>

This is not a normal json format. Given the above output, what would the best approach be to extracting the second value in the list (99) to a sensor?

Copy this into Developer Tools/Template and play with it.

{% set response = '<0;99;99;99;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0>' %}
{{ response.split(';')[1] }}

Great, many thanks for the tip! Btw, this is my final implementation:

  - platform: rest
    resource: http://172.22.1.171/get/90-b2-e4-09-13-17/all/
    method: GET
    name: controme_wohnen_oeffnung
    value_template: >-
      {{ ((value.split(';')[1].replace('<','').replace('>','')) | int +
      (value.split(';')[2].replace('<','').replace('>','')) | int +
      (value.split(';')[3].replace('<','').replace('>','')) | int) / 3 }}
