Extract emailadress

[dj.funny]

Dear readers,

Excuse formy English but that's not my cup of tea

I have the following question:

With the function POP3 Mail loop I'll extract the emailadress of the sender out of an email. But I only need the email adress not all the other stuff:

Maybe an example makes it easier for all you!

Sometimes I'll get:

dirk@vroxxx.nl and that's what I want, but other times I'll get:

"Dirk Vroxxx | Company Yyyy" <dv@vierxxx.com> But in this case I only need dv@vierxxx.com

Is there somebody with the answer??

Use AddressOnly system variable (function)
It is in the list of variables: menu Options->Variables
Look in the EMail group

Also see my example below.
Save the text of the task to a file and use menu Task->Import to import the task into RoboTask.

Code: Select all

Sometimes live is so easy

I allready solved it (with STR replace + STR pos + STR delete), but this is so much better!!
