Hello,




I've been searching the net for the answer to this problem, with nothing to show for it.




I'm trying to set up a rule in Outlook that will run on the server and will search in the body of the email for a string that has a newline character in the middle of it.




So, basically, what's the escape sequence used to indicate a new line?






Here's my situation, just in case there's a different way of solving it...




I need to separate some automated emails into different folders based on the contents of the emails. The part that will determine where the email should go is always found on the line after a particular string. So, let's say I'm looking for the line:


"destination:"


and on the next line, I could have one of the following:


"dest1", "dest2", or "dest3"




But the problem is, that "dest1", "dest2", and "dest3" all may be written throughout the email, so I really need to focus on the one that's written after the line "destination:".




Currently, I've got a rule working that runs a macro that does this processing, which works fine, but my issue with it this solution is that due to the fact that I'm running a script it runs only on the client's machine, not on the server.




Can I get a rule, or multiple rules working together that do what I need that will run on the server?




Thanks.
 
To answer the basic question, you'd be looking for vbCrLf. But... AFAIK, server side rules won't work because you'd need to use a script to find the line breaks and that is client side only.
