I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT IF SOMEONE COULD HELP ME OUT. IVE BEEN TRYING TO UNDERSTAND MACRO LANGUAGE FOR AGES AND I CANT SEEM TO GET ANYWHERE!
HERE IS WHAT I WANT TO DO. I hope this makes sense.

----

I want a macro to read every email that gets sent to my inbox.

IF the subject line begins with "Lost Property at"
THEN extract the whole body of the email as a string - string name "BODY"

SPLIT the the string at the point where "\split" is in the text

I should have these strings only now

BODY_1
BODY_2


i dont think there is a chance of \split being in the body more than once. but if it is, i would want to isolate BODY_1 and concatenate the rest together

I now want the macro to write an email:

to: BODY_1
subject
: the subject of the original email
body: BODY_2

SEND
 
you can use it either in a run a script rule or watch the folder and process it using an itemadd macro.

How to use an ItemAdd Macro


this snippet will do what you need (i think the array code is correct, but it might need tweaked)-

if lcase(item.subject) = "lost property" then
Dim BodyArray() As variant

BodyArray() = (item.body, "\split", 2)

--create new message --
Create a new Outlook message using VBA

then use this:
newMsg.to = bodyarray(1)
newMsg.body = bodyarray(2)
newMsg.send

end if
 
There is an error on BodyArray() = (item.body, "\split", 2)

you need to set the item object to a message - this will use the selected message (great for testing - change it to use incoming messages later)

sub lostpropertyforward()
Set Item = application.ActiveExplorer.Selection.Item(1)
' rest of your code
end sub
