extract email from message body
Can anyone suggest the best way to open each file in an OUtlook subdirectory
and extract an email address from the body of the email? I have mail coming back as undeliverable, and want to prune those addresses from our lists, but the address to which the email was sent is not the same as the return address, which is usually an automated responder from a mail server that can't find the address in to: Basically, I'm trying to write code that will say: go to the undeliverables subdirectory in Outlook; for each email, check the body of the email for any/all email address(es) append the email address to a text file; -- Phantom Researcher |

You can search the addresses with the Instr function. If there's no specific position for an address then search for the @ character, then for the following ' ', and with InstrRev for the leading ' '. Knowing that both position, you can then extract the string with the Mid function. -- Viele Gruesse / Best regards Michael Bauer - MVP Outlook Quick-Cats - Categorize Outlook data: http://www.vboffice.net/product.html?id=2006063&cmd=detail&lang=en&pub=6 Am Wed, 25 Apr 2007 19:00:02 -0700 schrieb Edward: Can anyone suggest the best way to open each file in an OUtlook subdirectory and extract an email address from the body of the email?

No! g I think I've tried to explain regular expressions just once and failed miserably. But MSDN has good material including a tutorial, IIRC.

I tried this:
Instr ("urn:schemas:httpmail:textdescription, " %@% ", vbTextCompare ) But it only returns an index of the found text. Can you describe a regular expression that would work?

extract email from message body
I can't seem to address the body of the email. I have a routine that cycles
through the index of the Inbox, but am unsure how to actually address the body of the email. Is it an Item, a message, a body, a PR_body, etc. Can't seem to address it. Also, I have a search string, " *@* ", which should work if I can find the right way to run the body through it. However, the like operator doesn't work in the AdvancedSearch function.
