Wow lot of code
Thank you Jaffer,
But i think I don't need that much code.

My requirement is very simple.

Now I made a string from a mail with the required text in it
This string has to be copied in to a text file (bY opening a new one)
and save the text file in to the required path and close it

Ok LakshmanaRavula
tell me,
will there be only 1 email?
Will this/these emails always have 1 thing in common, like the same subject, OR certain words in the body?

I'm preparing a macro which will fire when ever a new mail arrives and process the mail. as a part of it I need to store certain data in to a text file

Yes as i said to you in my earlier posting "GG" and "TTT" are common words in the body


I need the text between these two strings which will be changing from amil to mail

 I need to copy the contents starts from specified string "GG" (including "GG") and ends before specified string "TTT" (Excluding "TTT")
 Thank You

Option Explcit

'Function savePartOfMail(theBody, startWith, endWith, saveToFile) As String
Dim strMsg As String
Dim startAt As Long
Dim endAt As Long

  Dim fso As Object, MyFile As Object

  Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
 
    savePartOfMail = ""
    startAt = InStr(1, theBody, startWith, vbTextCompare)
    If startAt = 0 Then Exit Function
    endAt = InStr(1, theBody, endWith, vbTextCompare)
    If endAt = 0 Then Exit Function
    Set MyFile = fso.OpenTextFile(saveToFile, ForWriting, True)
    savePartOfMail = Mid(theBody, startAt, endAt)
    MyFile.Write savePartOfMail
    MyFile.Close
    Set MyFile = Nothing
    Set fso = Nothing
End Function

call it with
Dim stout as string
dim saveInFile as string
saveInFile ="c:\myPatialMail.txt"
stout = savePartOfMail(theBody, "GG", "TTT", saveInFile)

I output stout just if you would need it in the rest of the code

Hi stefri glad to see you again

I'm facing problem to call a function from the macro which i'M preparing

Post, I will try to make interactive debugging

Stefri

There is a compile error in the function
Variable not defined
and highlighting  ForWriting
in " Set MyFile = fso.OpenTextFile(saveToFile, ForWriting, True)"

OK,
ForWriting is an integer
Dim ForWriting as Integer
ForWriting = 2

stefri

Ok that's fine .
it has to stop before "TTT" but it is proceeding till the end of the mail

Excellent

Thank You
