Hi All:

I am thinking whether or not the following will be possible by use of a
macro: If yes, then how?

I will receive an email from a particular email address, that will have
some information (some number) in it. The number will be in the message
body and it will always be at a fixed place in the message. (say 10th
and 11th characters on line 3).

What I want to do is, compare this number with another number that I
have to derive from a ZIP file...it has to be the number of files
zipped in that zip file.

I don't know if at all it is possible to open a zip file from a macro
and get the number of files from it...?? Only then can I think of
comparing the 2 values.

If anyone has worked on something like this or if anyone has any ideas,
please reply...any kind of pointers are appreciated.

Thanks much
Satish
