I need an Email Parsing Script for incoming Emails from a specific vendor. I have started the script but am having trouble with CASE 2 and CASE 3. Help please..... See specifics below:

Email Properties:
From: XXXYYYZZZ
To: AAABBBCCC
Subject: Inquiry for Property #999

Body:
Scenario 1
Property: 8505 E. San Pablo Dr
JOHN DOE, LOS ANGELES, CA, (5556021919) called to inquire about property 999

Scenario 2
Property: 8505 E. San Pablo Dr
(5556021919) called to inquire about property 999


Script Requirements:
1. Return:
· Property = 8505 E. San Pablo Dr.
· Name = JOHN DOE
· Phone = 555-602-1919



Email Parsing - Script
Sub GetValueUsingRegEx()
' Set reference to VB Script library
' Microsoft VBScript Regular Expressions 5.5

Dim olMail As Outlook.MailItem
Dim Reg1 As RegExp
Dim M1 As MatchCollection
Dim M As Match

Set olMail = Application.ActiveExplorer().Selection(1)
' Debug.Print olMail.Body

Set Reg1 = New RegExp

' \s* = invisible spaces
' \d* = match digits
' \w* = match alphanumeric


For i= 1 to 3

With Reg1
Select Case i
Case 1
.Pattern = "Property\s*[:]+\s*(\w*)\s*"
.Global = True

Case 2
.Pattern = "Property\s*[:]+\s*(\w*)\s*"
.Global = True

Case 3
.Pattern = "Property\s*[:]+\s*(\w*)\s*"
.Global = True
End Select

End With
If Reg1.test(olMail.Body) Then

Set M1 = Reg1.Execute(olMail.Body)
For Each M In M1
' M.SubMatches(1) is the (\w*) in the pattern
' use M.SubMatches(2) for the second one if you have two (\w*)
Debug.Print M.SubMatches(1)

Next
End If


End Sub
 
Will the name and phone number always be formatted with upper case or ()? You might be able to look for those, since there isn't a field name to use.

If the formats never change, this select case will work:
With Reg1
Select Case i
Case 1
.Pattern = "(Property\s*[:]+\s*(.*)\s*)"
.Global = False

Case 2
.Pattern = "(([A-Z\s]*),)"
.Global = False

Case 3
.Pattern = "(\(([0-9]*)\))"
.Global = True
End Select



Code:
Sub GetValueUsingRegEx()
' Set reference to VB Script library
' Microsoft VBScript Regular Expressions 5.5

Dim olMail As Outlook.MailItem
    Dim Reg1 As RegExp
    Dim M1 As MatchCollection
    Dim M As Match
    Dim strMatch As String
    Dim strAddress, strPhone, strName

Set olMail = Application.ActiveExplorer().Selection(1)

Set Reg1 = New RegExp

For i = 1 To 3

With Reg1
Select Case i
Case 1
.Pattern = "(Property\s*[:]+\s*(.*)\s*\n)"
.Global = False

Case 2
.Pattern = "(\n([A-Z\s]*),)"
.Global = False

Case 3
.Pattern = "(\(([0-9]*)\))"
.Global = True
End Select


End With
If Reg1.test(olMail.Body) Then

Set M1 = Reg1.Execute(olMail.Body)
For Each M In M1
strMatch = M.SubMatches(1)
strMatch = Replace(strMatch, Chr(13), "")
Select Case i
Case 1
strAddress = strMatch
Case 2
strName = strMatch
Case 3
strPhone = strMatch
End Select


Next


End If

Next

Debug.Print "Address: " & strAddress & vbCrLf & "Name: " & strName & vbCrLf & "Phone: " & Format(strPhone, "000-000-0000")

End Sub
 
Diane,

Thanks for you expeditious reply. To answer your questions: (1) YES - the Names will ALWAYS be in capitals. (2) And, YES - the Telephone Numbers will ALWAYS parenthesis around them with not spaces between the digits.

Will that effect the code in which you have written at all?

Thanks again for your help! :)
 
Hey Diane,

If the script you wrote is not showing up in the MS Outlook? Is there something I need to do in order to get it there?

Thanks.

It should work fine under those conditions - it does here, but there is always a chance that my recreation of the messages is not identical to the actual messages.[DOUBLEPOST=1407889360,1407888968][/DOUBLEPOST]
Hey Diane,

Thanks.

Where are you looking for it? It's not a run a script rule - it runs on a selected message. If you need it to be a run a script, first test it and verify it works, then it need a little tweaking -

name is

Sub GetValueUsingRegEx(olmail as outlook.mailitem)

delete the set olmail line

and of course, you need to do something in place of the debug.print, which prints to the Immediate window (Ctrl+G to view.)
 
Thanks Diane,

I appreciate the help. Bare with me as I am not a high level programmer. (1) Where is the data returned (file,etc..)? I have not been able to locate it. (2) How can I forward that data along as another email with the data extracted?
 
paste the code into the VBA editor, make sure you Set reference to VB Script library -Microsoft VBScript Regular Expressions 5.5 - then show the immediate window (View menu or Ctrl+G). Now select a message and then run the code. The immediate window will show you the data it collected.

pop this in right after the debug print line
Code:
Dim objMsg As MailItem
Set objMsg = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With objMsg
  .To = "Alias@domain.com"
  .Subject = "This is the subject"
  .BodyFormat = olFormatPlain ' send plain text message
  .body = "Address: " & strAddress & vbCrLf & "Name: " & strName & vbCrLf & "Phone: " & Format
  
  .Display ' use display for testing,  .send to send automatically
End With
Set objMsg = Nothing
 
Thanks Diane... I am going to dive into it. I really appreciate the help!
