Hi everyone,

I receive a lot of plain text emails that contain data in a preset format

that I would like to auto reply with a custom form I have built. I would like

to know if I can locate and use certain values from the original message in

my reply (e.g. original msg contains as plain text First Name: John and

Coffee Type: Arabica. Can I locate John and Arabica in the original msg and

populate those values in my auto reply form -> Hi John, thanks for your

enquiry about our Arabica coffee range...)

It seems straight forward enough yet any help or pointers in the right

direction would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

Greg

You might find this code sample useful:

http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=89 It shows how to parse a

structured text block as your scenario describes.

Thanks Sue for the pointers and links, I'm almost there!

The example at

http://www.outlookcode.com/threads.aspx?forumid=2&messageid=696 is very close

to what I'm dealing with except the data value attached to each label is on

the line below it - see example...

<snip
Q. Email Address

A. John_Smith@domainname.com

Q. First Name

A. John

Q. Coffee Type

A. Arabica

<snip
I can successfully locate & return the Email Address label, how do I go the

next step and get the code to locate the label but return the line below it

for trimming and insertion into my reply email?

TIA -Greg

I'd use the same text parsing functions, Instr() and Mid(). Use Instr() to

search for the text "Email Address", then from that starting position,

search for the text "A:", etc. Use Mid() to clip the text.
