How do I replace 'ABC' with 'A23' in multiple email messages

**abmfan** · January 27th 06, 05:09 PM posted to microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba

I have over 100 messages where I need to change 4 text strings to the same
replacement string for each original string. Can I create a Outlook Rule or a
VB script to do this, under the Rules facility of Outlook?

You can´t create a rule but a VBA method to do the replacement. Use a For
Each loop to go through all the Items in a folder.

In OL = XP you can search in the Item´s Body property with InStr and
replace with the Replace function. After the replacement call the Item´s
Save method.
