Are you creating a parser in CF? Are you running CF5? or MX?
Here is a function that works in CF5. It returns the e-mail string.
<cfscript>
function findEmail(str)
{
if (ArrayLen(Arguments) GT 1)
numStart = Arguments[2];
else
numStart = 1;
loc = Refind("(|<|[])(([][-a-zA-Z0-9_%\.']*)[EMAIL
PROTECTED]>.]*\.[]{2,})(|>|[])",str,numStart,1);
if (loc.pos[1] IS 0)
return '';
else
return mid(str,loc.pos[3],loc.len[3]);
}
</cfscript>

Yeah, I downloaded ultraedit and it can work with the large text file. I
checked for the <bounce-ID string to see what campaigns went out and the
later ones did not send at all. The string did not exist, so I am almost
100% sure the files were deleted before ever being sent. This would also
explain the really low open rates,unsubs etc from the email campaigns that
did get delivered. The final emails were deleted!
This also explains why when I loaded up a larger number of emails at one
time they seemed to disappear. Because of the wait! I think it was the max
delivery time. I have changed this to 72 hours now. Stupid mistake on my
part......
Now, since I was not recording the individual deliveries I can not easily
tell which addresses were missing, because now I need to send all the
campaigns again.
So I need to parse this 150 meg file, line by line, find the campaignID and
recordID and record them to a temp table. Then re-send the mail and check
against the addresses already delivered to.

successfully to [EMAIL PROTECTED] from
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 6922
What is the best way to return this string
"<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" from that line?
