VBS Script for email header IP
I need to right a VBS script that can have a text document passed to it, then it reads through the text document and looks for the last occurrence of Received From: ([127.0.0.1]) and adds a new line to the text file saying Originating-IP: 127.0.0.1
The command to run the VBS would need to be "extractIP.vbs 123454343454.txt" ie the text file to check through is specified. An example text from the file is the following.
Received: from mailfilteruk.com ([192.133.7.42]) by mailfilteruk.com with MailEnable ESMTP; Thu, 19 May 2011 16:11:08 +0100

X-Originating-IP:86.163.57
As you can see there are several received from IP address, the one i need however is the last one in bold. To further complicate the issue the IP will be different each time so it will need to look for the last instance of received from: ([
It will then add the following string. X-Originating-IP:86.163.57
So it would then look like the following.
Received: from mailfilteruk.com ([192.133.7.42]) by mailfilteruk.com with MailEnable ESMTP; Thu, 19 May 2011 16:11:08 +0100

I hope that all makes sense.

VB Script
VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.
