I'm hoping some of you Microsoft MVP can point me in the right direction...

Is there a way to strip leading text from an incoming email using VBA in
outlook?

I have email forwarded by a colleague at work (a mailing list) and I'd like
to strip out his forward info so the body of the email shows up.

I've done some VBA programming with Access and some minor stuff in Excel and
WRQ-reflections.

I was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction as to
how to accomplish this.

I was thinking I could run a macro on incoming mail that get's applied via a
filter.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Bruno

Try this please:



Public Sub WriteFile(sPath As String, _

sText As String, _

Optional ByVal bAppend As Boolean _

On Error GoTo AUSGANG

Dim lFileNr As Long



lFileNr = FreeFile



Select Case bAppend

Case False

Open sPath For Output As #lFileNr

Case Else

Open sPath For Append As #lFileNr

Hi there!



Need Yr help.

I have a simple txt file and need to add "//" (these two symbols) to the

end

of the file (last string). Hv tried different ways but always hv carrier

return code between last text string and "//".

example:

text: BLA BLA BLA -need this BLA BLA BLA//



but always get:

BLA BLA BLA

//



thanks!



exmaple code:

dim nf as integer



nf = freefile



open lpfilename for binary access write as nf

put nf, LOF(nf), "=="

close nf

Hi,

hope I understand right.

What you could try is the following :

Normally, you do have some chars (e.g. ) at the beginning of a
citation.
You could search the textlines for these characters (at the start of
each line) to differ between newer and elder text.

For example :

Hi, this is new text

and this is citation

and this is even older citation

Hope this will help you further
