Yes, it can. The following outlines the basics of the techniques you would use to do this:
Assuming the email you will be receiving has been structured so that you can parse it then you
will need to create a script to run against your incoming mail. This script will contain the rules
for parsing the body of the email (extracted from the message by using the ReadBody
command). You will need a series of "StringPos" and "If" statements to determine whether or not
the keywords that define your elements are present. The basic structure would look something
like:
<![CDATA[
ReadBody $body %message
StringPos #a "keyword" $body
If #a = 0 Then Chk0002
]]>
... Here you will need to insert the code to extract the value from the body of the message. Use
another StringPos to determine the location of the end delimiter and then extract the value
using some of Poco'Script's string manipulation functions (ChopString, Trim, etc). Finally append
the extracted value to a variable as a new line using the "InsertLine" command. Repeat these
steps until you have parsed all the infromation from the body, then use the "WriteCSV" command
to write the information out to a file. Once this is done you can run the external application
using either the "Execute" or "ExecuteAndWait" commands. |
