I work for a small business, and we process paperwork that is very
repetitive. We receive it via e-mail and it is usually laid out basically
the same. The e-mail is on an IMAP server. We use Outlook to check it. We
input it into a Retail program (RetailIQ) and save it.
What I need is to know what kind of language to use to write a script to
check the mail, whether through outlook or through the server itself, and
search for specific titles like "customer name:" and "address:" and
information like that and take the data following it (ie: the customers
name, the customers address) and enter it into another program's database.
What I basically need is a script or help towards writing said script and
extracting the data from the emails. I think I can handle the other half
of inputing it into the database, but help on that would be nice. Any
ideas, anyone? Thanks for your time, it is much appreciated.
