Parsing

Question

Hello everyone I hope this is the right place to ask this question but I couldn't seem to find another place it might belong. Here is what I have a byte array for a POP3 email message. I can convert the byte array into a string without a problem. I need to know is there an easy way to parse this sting then to return things like subject from body attachments and etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated. By the way I am using LUMI's POP3 client source that he has posted on csharp-corner.com John John@Hideysoft.com

Ya know... just a thought... I *THINK* the .msg files that Outlook can save to are pop3 (maybe ?) formatted. You *might* be able to write the bytes out to a .msg file open it in outlook and have instant msg parsing. I haven't done this but I remember something about outlook's standard save message... code doing one of the Industry standard mail exchange formats. Check it out. might save you a bit of work.

There's probably a library to do it but it shouldn't be too rough to do up what you need and expose the relevant info from a class.

OK...Thanks... Thats what I figured but I wanted to make sure there was nothing else out there to do this. Or any tricks. Thanks

Regular expressions would be a good place to start.
