Hello TBTECH, I am not positive that the following can be done, but if any e-mail program can do I'm sure Thebat is the one. :)
I am going to be receiving an e-mail generated from a form on a web page that will have the following layout: ----------------------------------------------------------------- Jim, Jones, 111 Portage Ave, Winnipeg, MB, R0G 2J0, 204-555-4463, [EMAIL PROTECTED], 4444, Tech-P, Burntwood ----------------------------------------------------------------- I need to send an e-mail to the e-mail address in the message and it needs to contain a login name and password. The login name in this case will be Jones4444 which as you can see combines two of the fields and the password is 4444. Is it possible to send this e-mail saying that they have successfully applied to enter this site and can use Jones4444 as the login name and 4444 as the password. I'm assuming that if it can be done it will use regex, which I am only barely familiar with and I will need patient advisors. Roelof Otten replied with the following suggestion: %SetPattRegExp='(?is)(.*?),\s(.*?),\s(.*?)\n(.*?),\s(.*?),\s'%- %RegExpBlindMatch='%Text'%- %To="%SubPatt='4'"%- Hello %SubPatt='1', Your username is %SubPatt='2'%SubPatt='5', your password is %SubPatt='5' Note and apologies to Roelof the dashes above are not included in the email I receive. I played with the code a bit and now have it as follows: %SetPattRegExp='(?is)(.*?),\s(.*?),\s(.*?)\s(.*?),\s(.*?),\s(.*?)\s(.*?),\s(.*?)\s(.*?),\s(.*?),\s'%- %RegExpBlindMatch='%Text'%- %To="%SubPatt='9'"%- Hello %SubPatt='1', Your username is %SubPatt='2'%SubPatt='10' Your password is %SubPatt='10' This works for the most part, but I'm a little leery of the reliability. The problem is that the email address is the 8th subpatt not the 9th and the password is the 9th not the 10th. If I list all the subpatts, I get Jim -1 Jones -2 111 -3 Portage Avenue -4 etc. As you can see the 111 is being picked up as a separate subpatt even though it is part of the address and does not have a comma behind it. Can anyone explain why? I am assuming (.*?) matches any string, and the ,\s selects the comma and the white space. What does the initial (?is) do? How does it know what subpatt 1,2,3 etc. are and will I always get two subpatts for the mailing address regardless of what it is? -- Stuart mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________________________________ http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
