Email Message extracted as HTML script - want it as text

[parashk]

Hello,

I am using email automation in AA and would to extract an HTML email as a text. The email contains tables and when extracted it shows the HTML script rather than the actual message. Would like to have that table extracted in text or some way to get that email converted to text?

Your help is highly appreciated.

Hi parashk,

There are several vbscripts and javascripts that you may find after doing a web search which strips off the html tags from a text and then leaves back the remaining text. But in your case as you mention you've got tables so you might want to run the html against the script and see how you get the output as. The vbs file can be called from AA and the output saved into a variable. But furthermore you will need to identify if you have a pattern to split the text as desired or explore any other options like putting to Excel etc.

The approach I am trying to suggest you is as below where the vbs script file that has the table tag is called from the command line as an example and the output that is returned after stripping off the table tags is as shown in the message box.

Be noted that this regular expression would not work in case you have '<' or '>' in your data itself. For that you will need to search for another regex.
