Email to Case: finding string within a text area

Hi,

 

We are using SFDC email to case.

Is there a way to search a text area (body of the email) for a unique number and populate this to a field within the case object?

 

The unique number always follows this format e.g FY554077

(2 letters followed by 6 numbers).

 

Many thanks

You'll need to use a regular expression (string that is used to match another string) by using the Pattern and Matcher classes in Apex.

 

for example: 

 

String body = (your message body containing the #);

Pattern.compile('[A-Z]{2}\d{6}|[a-z]{2}\d{6}]'); //(for ex. this will grab BC849203 or bc948593)

String[] result = Pattern.split(body);

 

The result list will contain each substring of the String that matches this pattern.

You can learn about how to build a regex here: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/index.html?java/util/regex/Pattern.html

And test a regex here: http://regexpal.com/

If you are not familiar enought with Regex to know where in the exixting Case Apex code to place this snippet, then include the complete Apex case code and we can help you locate the snippet position.

Thanks,

 

Where do I put the field that I'm querying in this code?

The body of the email drops into a field called Description__c.

 

Thank you

It actually looks good with the presentation, but it’s really hard to understand what the subject is.
