Hi everyone,

I receive a lot of plain text emails that contain data in a preset format
that I would like to auto reply with a custom form I have built. I would like
to know if I can locate and use certain values from the original message in
my reply (e.g. original msg contains as plain text First Name: John and
Coffee Type: Arabica. Can I locate John and Arabica in the original msg and
populate those values in my auto reply form -> Hi John, thanks for your
enquiry about our Arabica coffee range...)

It seems straight forward enough yet any help or pointers in the right
direction would be greatly appreciated.


TIA

Greg
 
Thanks Sue for the pointers and links, I'm almost there!

The example at
http://www.outlookcode.com/threads.aspx?forumid=2&messageid=696 is very close
to what I'm dealing with except the data value attached to each label is on
the line below it - see example...

<snip>
Q. Email Address
A. (e-mail address removed)

Q. First Name
A. John

Q. Coffee Type
A. Arabica
<snip>

I can successfully locate & return the Email Address label, how do I go the
next step and get the code to locate the label but return the line below it
for trimming and insertion into my reply email?

TIA -Greg
