I need to delete records in an MS Outlook .NK2 file if they contain a
specific email address.
This code has been inspired mainly by:
http://code.google.com/p/debunk2/wiki/fileformat.
import re
NUL='\x00'
sep1 = '\x04H\xfe\x13' # record separator
sep2 = '\x00\xdd\x01\x0fT\x02\x00\x00\x01' # record separator
p = re.compile('@emaildomain', re.IGNORECASE)
props = open('nk2properties.txt', 'r')
lines = props.readlines()
infile = lines[0].strip()
outfile = lines[1].strip()
props.close()
f = open(infile, 'rb')
filedata = f.read()
f.close()
out = open(outfile, 'wb')
for z in filedata.split(sep1):
for y in z.split(sep2):
split1 = [x.replace(NUL, '') for x in y.split(NUL*3)]
for item in split1:
m = p.search(item)
if m:
print m.group()
out.write(item)
out.close()
nk2properties.txt contents:
Outlook.NK2
outputfile
I'm sure all matches are found. The trouble, it seems, is determining where
the records begin and end so I can delete them and keep them in a separate
file in case I have to reimport them later.
