Is there a macro that can scan over the context of an e-mail attachment on arrival and delete / move it to a certain folder if it contains it?

in a previous thread, i mentioned i receive about 200 emails a day with Text files attached (nothing in the body of the e-mail, only the attached text file). these text files are automated from domain controllers that spit out notifications when someone inputs a bad password, for 2003 servers error ID reads 675, but has several Failure codes. I only want the ones that state 0x18, but most come in as 0x19.. so since i can't change it in the automated process, i was hoping to catch it at the recipient end.

if i can run a macro that looks for 0x19 in the attachment and just deletes them, would save me about 180+/- e-mail views a day. (or in my prior thread, have the text file copied to the body of the e-mail and resent to me, i don't mind running rules to delete the duplicate ones if the text can show up in the body i can run an additional rule to look for 0x19 in the body).

Thanks,

Robert

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
