Search for message using part of subject

[sharky12345]

I'm trying to find a way to search my Inbox for a message with a specific subject and if it's found change the subject and move it.

I've made progress and it works but only if I specify the exact subject - so does anyone know how I can search for part of the subject filed as below, (which does not work);

If oMail.Subject = "*Response Document*" Then
oMail.Subject = "Response Document* - IMPORTED 08/02/2018"

Does that mean you would want to find items in your Inbox containing a particular string? Then, you will need to loop through the Inbox folder and then make the necessary changes. Also, please note that at times, the wildcard characters will not fetch you the right results instead you might need to depend on the built-ins or maybe use the regular expressions as required.

To loop through the inbox, you might need to do this (not tested):

For Each oInboxItems in oEntireInboxItems ' oEntireInboxItems shall be the object derived from Outlook.Application("MAPI").GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Items
     If oInboxItems.Class = olMail Then
        If InStr(1, oInboxItems.Subject, "Response Document") > 0 Then
            oInboxItems.Subject = [COLOR=#333333]"Response Document* - IMPORTED 08/02/2018"
         End If
     End If
Next oInboxItems

This is code is just to provide you on how to proceed and is not tested. Hope this helps you.
