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"NoticeOfapplication/([0-9-_]+)")
match = re_number.search(body)
if match:
print match.group(1)

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