i've done similar thing word documents i'm struggling 'get at' text in .msg files.

so far have code below. think i'm on right track @ least, i'm stuck @ line i'm trying set reference msg file. advice appreciated...

dim myoutlook outlook.application dim mymail outlook.mailitem  set myoutlook = new outlook.application   set mymail =   dim filecontents string  filecontents = mymail.body

regards

so i've been able working .msg files saved outside of outlook. however, don't have access outlook express have no way of saving .eml files @ moment. here's sub i've come insert subject,sender,cc,to, , sendon excel worksheet starting @ row 2 column 1 (assuming header row @ row 1):

sub getmailinfo(path string)      dim myoutlook outlook.application     dim msg outlook.mailitem     dim x namespace      set myoutlook = new outlook.application     set x = myoutlook.getnamespace("mapi")      filelist = getfilelist(path + "*.msg")       row = 1      while row <= ubound(filelist)          set msg = x.openshareditem(path + filelist(row))          cells(row + 1, 1) = msg.subject         cells(row + 1, 2) = msg.sender         cells(row + 1, 3) = msg.cc         cells(row + 1, 4) = msg.to         cells(row + 1, 5) = msg.senton           row = row + 1     wend  end sub

which uses getfilelist function defined below (thanks spreadsheetpage.com)

function getfilelist(filespec string) variant '   taken http://spreadsheetpage.com/index.php/tip/getting_a_list_of_file_names_using_vba/ '   returns array of filenames match filespec '   if no matching files found, returns false      dim filearray() variant     dim filecount integer     dim filename string      on error goto nofilesfound      filecount = 0     filename = dir(filespec)     if filename = "" goto nofilesfound  '   loop until no more matching files found     while filename <> ""         filecount = filecount + 1         redim preserve filearray(1 filecount)         filearray(filecount) = filename         filename = dir()     loop     getfilelist = filearray     exit function  '   error handler     nofilesfound:         getfilelist = false end function

should straightforward, let me know if need more explanation.

edit: you'll have add reference outlook library

hth!

Why does Ruby on Rails generate add a blank line to the end of a file? -

running rails generate controller foo home results in: class foocontroller < application controller def home end end (there's nothing on line in actual file, blank line) is there purpose blank line? it's common use newline indicate end of line, last line. many editors (like vi, use) add in newline silently. consensus text files (especially in unix world) should end in newline, , there have been problems historically if wasn't present. why should text files end newline? the tool used count lines in file "wc" counts newlines in file, without trailing newline show 3 instead of 4. it improves readability of templates used in generator. consider: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/railties/lib/rails/generators/rails/controller/templates/controller.rb to remove trailing newline, template have last line of: end<% end -%> instead of: end <% end -%> that seems less readable me. the discussion below refers
