Yeah, you can do about anything if you can get past an often obscure macro "language" that often depends on regular expressions. Here's an example from one of my eBay confirmation templates: Original message has in the text: Buyer: johndoe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] The following is part of a reply template. It extracts the email info above and puts it in the "To" field. %TO='%setpattregexp="(?i-s)(Buyer\: +)(.+\:)(.+)"%RegExpBlindMatch="%Text"%SUBPATT="3"' Hope this helps - jon -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.02.3 CE | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
