Hey Andrew,

Look into regular expressions.  There are some great books out there on the
subject.  You may also want to check the CF Tag Gallery, which has a couple
tags specifically aimed at parsing out email addresses.

Subject: Stripping Body of Mail


Hi!

Does anyone know if there is a way to strip certain text out of the body of
an email
with Coldfusion? CFMAIL? CFPOP? CFWHATEVER?

The concerned text is well defined with brackets.

We use OReilly Webboard, and it has a great email digest function. But it
sends out usernames
and user email addresses. We have sensitive clients that don't want this in
a blitz email.

So... the awful workaround we have now is someone is manually stripping out
<user001> and
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.

This could have other big implications as stripping vulgar language from a
listserve, or removing
a company's name from appearing in a post... whatever...

We have to find a better way!!

Andrew Richardson
