Outlook auto reply

Hi People,
I recieve many emails everyday and every one has a standard reply to it.
What I would like to be able to do is auto reply to the email but use specific details from the original email in the reply.
ie

The original mail looks like this,

Name: Phil Johnson
Password: 12345
Location: North East
Username: PhilJ

And what I would like to do is reply to the mail by picking the name and username and inserting it in a specific location in the reply.

So the reply would look

Hi Phil,

You username is PhilJ and your password is 12345.

If you have any further questions please mail at@whatever.

Thanks

me.

Can any one help me out with this.

cheers guys.

Do your incoming mails always have the same format?

hi there thanks for getting back so quick,
yes the incoming mails always have the same format.

so you can parse the body property of the mail for the fixed values like Name,Password,Location and Username to get the values. With this values you can create a new reply message with your personalized text. Create a string template of you reply message mit place holders. like this:

Hi <Name>,

You username is <Username> and your password is <Password>.

If you have any further questions please mail at@whatever.

Thanks

You only have to replace the place holders with the value of the parsed original message using the Replace function.
