How can I detect regular expressions in an Outlook-Mail subjectline and automatically...

FlorianB98 · 17. Mai 2019

I'm trying to check the subject line to a match with my regex. If it hits I would like to automaticly hyperlink the matches, so my browser opens a website after clicking a link.

Another problem is that you can't use HTML code in a subject line, so I can manipulate the html code of the mail body but I can't use "mailItem.subject.HTMLBody" to manipulate the subject line.

I found some solutions for web-add-ins but I'm using VSTO-Add-In.

I thought maybe it exists a kind of overlay or something like that. Or for example like Word is underlining wrong written words, so you can deal with that word by right click.

I hope someone can help me.

Hi Florian,

The subjectl ine is plain text, it does not support HTML. But using mailItem.subject with regex should definitely work as long as you use a valid pattern.

Do you have a code sample you are trying to use that doesn't work?

I have some samples in this article -
https://www.slipstick.com/developer/code-sample... - changing If Reg1.Test(olMail.Body) Then to If Reg1.Test(olMail.Subject) Then will work - you don't need the 2 IF lines that follow.

What are you trying to accomplish?

Hi Diane,

Thanks for your answer.

I think my main issue has not really become clear.

My problem isn't the checking for a match.

I'm trying to hyperlink (or something similar) a word in the subject line.

Because the subject line can't HTML I can not put the word in an A-tag, logically.

But how can I do that?

Sincerely Florian

Hallo Frank,

benutzt du hier Regular Expressions? Wenn ja, hast du den Verweis auf Microsoft Regular Expressions gesetzt?

Kannst du mal beschreiben, was du genau machen willst und deinen Code hier komplett posten?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Hallo Viopoint,

Ist dein PC mit WiFi oder mit Ethernet Kabel verbunden? Kannst du die Optionen wechseln und testen?

Du kannst auch im Internet Optionen / Connections / LAN Settings suchen. Dann demarkiere
Automatically detect settings und klicke auf OK.
