Re: reading Outlook Item files

I don't know of anything, but might they be just plain text? I'd assume you've already checked, but if you haven't, I'd do so.

Update A quick CPAN search turns up mbx2mbox and Mail::Transport::Dbx which sounds like they might help.

I checked those out before posting. They appear to work on mailbox databases; these appear to be individual pieces from those. I mentioned this to a co-worker and he said "maybe what you need is just embedded as text" which was exactly right. Sometimes the obvious escapes me ... in this case I know all lines I want can't have spaces or control characters or non-ASCII values so this simple script is all I need: `while (<>) { print $_ if ($_ =~ /^[^\00-\x20\x7f-\xff]+\r?$/); }` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
