Hi Power users,

 

I'm trying to learn PAD and to work table on my emails from outlook so I could add to my excel table.

    Nothing in-built so I have done this using a macro called from PAD.

    I've tried this before but it lack some condition for my requirement as I need specific email that contains specific content so I can identify the right email to retrieve.

     

    Are there any other way to do it in PAD?

    Every email has a unique EntryId. This you will get from PAD's Retrieve emails. Once you have identified the email you want, pass this EntryId as a parameter to the macro or the vbscript which will open that email and work on it to extract the tables.

    You will have to design the process in this way.

    I would appreciate if you could show me how to use this EntryId from Retrieve emails to vbscript. I never thought of that, but that is so clever. Please..

     

    Again thanks

    The EntryId will be a PAD variable coming from the Retrieve Emails.

    Simply use this variable in the Run vbscript code.
