Extract specific data from a folder of .eml files?

[tpir72]

Hi,
I have a folder of .eml files. They are an exported backup of my gmail account. Each .eml file is a separate email. They can be easily viewed with notepad.
I need to extract these four items. The format is always consistent mixed with other header and body info not needed.

Is there a way to scan this folder, have each email (one per row), with column data:

A1=Date:
A2=Member logged in:
A3=Email:
A4=IP:

Some emails may only have the Date: information. Is there a way to automate the process to scan the folder, only extract info if all four bits of information are available, add this data to one email message per row and ignore all other emails without all four bits of data present?

This is way over my head. I know some of you can come up with a formula in your sleep to do this.

I have thousands of emails to extract this data from.

Any help is sincerely appreciated.

Regards,

Terry

Hi - I have a similar problem with a list of teachers' details that I have backed-up as Outlook .EML files. I am trying to transfer these individual files across to Excel so that I am able to sort data by column, etc.. Appreciate your help if that is possible as I am not too familiar with writing code, etc. I have about 1,000 EML files each representing a teacher's info, so I'm kinda freaking out to think that I might have to re-type everything on Excel manually! Any help you can offer will be MOST appreciated. Here is a sample of what I'm trying to transfer across to Excel, with each field on a different column (info is changed to keep confidentiality). Outcome I am hoping is A1=Name, A2=Email Address:, A3=NRIC number, etc. Thanks! Name: Annie L.

Hi Domenic
I've been trying to backward engineer your macro to do a similar task on a load of 'Sent' emls but failing miserably
The 2 fields I require (to re create a lost address book) from the following sent headers are 'To: "My Friend"<myfriend@gmail.com>'
Could you kindly give me a clue?

Example header:

From: "Me Myself" <me@myself.com>
To: "My Friend" <myfriend@gmail.com>
References: <CAMub0XGZp8wvnFDud2UESmT6Rcd_Hu114YkJaovzX4azLuTY9A@mail.gmail.com>

How do I extract text lines of interest that start UNDER the criteria? For example like this:

Name:Eric Willoby
Title:
Owner
Company Name:
Premier Contracting
Email:
Panama3@gmx.com

I'm stuck trying to adapt the code.
