I would like to reply to a webform extracting the email address from the form.
The webform is in a table, thus the ParseTextLinePair() function returns blanks as the email address in the column next to the label.
How can I extract the email address from a webform?
Sub ReplywithTemplatev2()
Dim Item As Outlook.MailItem
Dim oRespond As Outlook.MailItem
'Get Email
Dim intLocAddress As Integer
Dim intLocCRLF As Integer
Dim strAddress As String
Set Item = GetCurrentItem()
If Item.Class = olMail Then
' find the requestor address
strAddress = ParseTextLinePair(Item.Body, "Email-Adresse des Ansprechpartners *")
' This sends a response back using a template
Set oRespond = Application.CreateItemFromTemplate("C:\Users\Reply.oft")
With oRespond
.Recipients.Add Item.SenderEmailAddress
.Subject = "Your Subject Goes Here"
.HTMLBody = oRespond.HTMLBody & vbCrLf & _
"---- original message below ---" & vbCrLf & _
Item.HTMLBody & vbCrLf
' includes the original message as an attachment
' .Attachments.Add Item
oRespond.To = strAddress
' use this for testing, change to .send once you have it working as desired
.Display
End With
End If
Set oRespond = Nothing
End Sub
Function GetCurrentItem() As Object
Dim objApp As Outlook.Application
Set objApp = Application
On Error Resume Next
Select Case TypeName(objApp.ActiveWindow)
Case "Explorer"
Set GetCurrentItem = objApp.ActiveExplorer.Selection.Item(1)
Case "Inspector"
Set GetCurrentItem = objApp.ActiveInspector.CurrentItem
End Select
Set objApp = Nothing
End Function
Function ParseTextLinePair(strSource As String, strLabel As String)
Dim intLocLabel As Integer
Dim intLocCRLF As Integer
Dim intLenLabel As Integer
Dim strText As String
' locate the label in the source text
intLocLabel = InStr(strSource, strLabel)
intLenLabel = Len(strLabel)
If intLocLabel > 0 Then
intLocCRLF = InStr(intLocLabel, strSource, vbCrLf)
If intLocCRLF > 0 Then
intLocLabel = intLocLabel + intLenLabel
strText = Mid(strSource, _
intLocLabel, _
intLocCRLF - intLocLabel)
Else
intLocLabel = Mid(strSource, intLocLabel + intLenLabel)
End If
End If
ParseTextLinePair = Trim(strText)
End Function
A picture of the table to clarify.
Have you looked in to Regular Expressions in VBA, I haven't worked on it in while but here is an example.
Option Explicit
Sub Example()
Dim Item As MailItem
Dim RegExp As Object
Dim Search_Email As String
Dim Pattern As String
Dim Matches As Variant
Set RegExp = CreateObject("VbScript.RegExp")
Pattern = "\b[A-Z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}\b"
For Each Item In ActiveExplorer.Selection
Search_Email = Item.body
With RegExp
.Global = False
.Pattern = Pattern
.IgnoreCase = True
Set Matches = .Execute(Search_Email)
End With
If Matches.Count > 0 Then
Debug.Print Matches(0)
Else
Debug.Print "Not Found "
End If
Next
Set RegExp = Nothing
End Sub
Or Pattern = "(\S*@\w+\.\w+)"
Or "(\w+(?:\W+\w+)*@\w+\.\w+)"
Regular-expressions.info/tutorial
\b[A-Z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,}\b
Simple pattern that describes an email address.
A series of letters, digits, dots, underscores, percentage signs and hyphens, followed by an at sign, followed by another series of letters, digits and hyphens, finally followed by a single dot and two or more letters
[A-Z0-9._%+-]+
Match a single character present in the list below
A-Z
A single character in the range between A and Z (case sensitive)
0-9
A single character in the range between 0 and 9
._%+-
