Re: help with parsing email

En Thu, 14 Aug 2008 12:50:57 -0300, Ahmed, Shakir <sh*****@sfwmd. govescribió:
I need to grab/parse numeric numbers such as app number from incoming
emails stored in Microsoft Outlook (Microsoft Exchange server) with
specified subject line.

The email body is like this

myregion ; tst ; 11-Aug-2008

http://my.xyz.com/dddd/content/ifs/a...est_337683.pdf

I need to extract 080612-21_ number from above line from incoming
emails.
I can't help with the part dealing with Outlook - but once you retrieved the email body, it's easy:

import re
re_number = re.compile(r"No ticeOfapplicati on/([0-9-_]+)")
match = re_number.searc h(body)
if match:
print match.group(1)

(this matches any numbers plus "-" and "_" after the words NoticeOfapplica tion written exactly that way)

I've been looking all over in the docs, but I can't figure out how you're *supposed* to parse formatted strings into numbers (and other data types, for that matter) in Python. In C#, you can say int.Parse(myString) and it will turn a string like "-12,345" into a proper int. It works for all sorts of data types with all sorts of formats, and you can

Hi, This is a newbie's question. I want to preload 4 images and only when all 4 images has been loaded into browser's cache, I want to start a slideshow() function. If images are not completed loaded into cache, the slideshow doesn't look very nice. I am not sure how/when to call the slideshow() function to make sure it starts after the preload has been completed.

I keep coming across people, online and in real life, who believe that to code single tags like <br> and <img> with trailing slashes, <br /> and <img /> is considered "best practice" and when challenged, they say that "everyone's going to be using XML/XHTML soon" and say that they're "getting ready" by coding this way. Coding this way causes validation errors in HTML 4 Transitional and HTML 4 Strict, so it can't be "best practice". ...

Another question is, Is necessary free any memory when I am using SAX API? I only call to "xmlSAXUserParseFile" and then callbacks "call...

Hi, I am having problems with a function that I have been using in my program to read sentences from a 'command file' and parse them into commands. the surprising thing is that the program works fine on some computers and not so fine on others. I tried debugging and cannot make any sense of it. I narrowed it down to the seekg function and made this simple program which (from what I understand) does not seem to be working as expected in all...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
