there already is a functions to strip a text from its frontmatter API/index Documentation

index.extractFrontmatter(text, extractOptions)

To strip a frontmatter from a page:

function strip_frontmatter_page(page)
  local fm = index.extractFrontmatter(space.readPage(page),  {
    removeFrontMatterSection = true,
    removeTags = false
  })
  return fm.text
end

To strip frontmatter from a text

function strip_frontmatter_from_text(text)
  local fm = index.extractFrontmatter(text,  {
    removeFrontMatterSection = true,
    removeTags = false
  })
  return "Text without frontmatter: " .. fm.text .."\n\nAnd this is the frontmatter:" .. fm.frontmatter
end
