I am using ExtractCustomField to try to populate some custom

but my custom fields aren't being populated.
Darren,
I believe that the ExtractCustomField code is only able to inspect
the email headers to look for matches. I don't think it can look in
the message body.
Tim
It should look in the body without a problem. I've used it to parse
email bodies in the past.
Darren
The newer versions of ECFV are reasonably chatty when run with debug
logging.
What does it say about what it is trying to match against your regexp?
You may also want to test with perl instead of egrep.
perl -ne 'print $1 if /CSR Contact Name\s*([\w*|\s*])*/' CSRFile
For starters, I don't think you really want | or * inside a character
class.
