Hi,
Can anyone help and show me a way how to find a string inside outlook .msg and inside archive .zip.
My problem is that I have thousands of files with extension .msg and .zip, and is there any way to search through them fast?
In outlook .msg there are attachements like excel, pdf, word,.. and sometimes aren`t, just email body.
In archive .zip there are also various file types.

Code: Select all
try olApp := ComObjActive("Outlook.Application") ; Get the Outlook application object if Outlook is open
catch {
olApp := ComObjCreate("Outlook.Application") ; Create an Outlook application object if Outlook is not open
CloseOutlook := true
}
Loop, % A_Desktop "\*.msg"
{
item := olApp.CreateItemFromTemplate(A_LoopFileFullPath)
BodyMessage := item.Body
Title := item.subject
if instr(BodyMessage,"Mike") ;If there is "Mike" in the email body
{
msgbox %title% ;Do something: e.g. show the email title
}
}
if (CloseOutlook)
olApp.Quit
