Fellow Monks,
i am caught on something and i'm in need of your assistance. I am connecting to a Public Folder through outlook and i want to parse through the emails for a given string in a regex but its not finding the string even though i see it if print the variable. Can anyone help?
Thank you
Ray here's my code: 
#!D:/perl/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use Win32::OLE qw(in with);
use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Outlook';

my($Outlook, $ol, $namespace, $Folder1, $Folder2, $Folder3, $Folder4, 
+$item, $body);

$|++;
$Win32::OLE::Warn = 3;

$Outlook = Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject('Outlook.Application') or Win32
+::OLE->new('Outlook.Application', 'Quit');
$ol = Win32::OLE::Const->Load($Outlook);

$namespace = $Outlook->GetNameSpace("MAPI") or die "Can't open MAPI na
+mespace: $!";

$Folder1 = $namespace->Folders("Public Folders");
$Folder2 = $Folder1->Folders("All Public Folders");
$Folder3 = $Folder2->Folders("Ops");
$Folder4 = $Folder3->Folders("Search");

foreach $item (in $Folder4->{Items}){
    $body = $item->{Body};     
print $body . "\n"; #Added to see if i see the string

    if($body =~ /.*ALL\s+TESTS\s+SUCCESSFULL\s*:/i){
    print $item->{Subject} . " ok\n";
}
    else{
        print "possible error on indexer for $item->{Subject}.\n";
        next;
}
}

Here's what the console shows with the print statement added: 
onion: 05/13/02 10:41:09 ALL TESTS SUCCESSFUL: EXITING WITH CODE 0
onion: 05/13/02 10:41:09 Updating the Database name and the
ActiveState.txt files

possible error on indexer for SEARCH: onion storeinfo Indexing Results
