Reading IMAP email body in plain text

Hi Three, I am having trouble reading email body as plain text. I am using uiPath.Main.IMAP.Activities.GetIMAPMailMessage to read emails of my gmail account. Everything seems working file except the body which I read through Mail.Body gives me content with html tags. Is there a direct way in uiPATH itself to get the readable text instead of html content of it? Here is how I am trying to get email attachment and body… [image] Thanks,

Thanks,

Why can't display IMAP messages as plain text, only HTML?

Dear all, I need to replace my get outlook mail messages activity with IMAP activity. With get outlook messages I got all my mails in simple text if i used a message box and placed mail.body.tostring inside. But now with IMAP all i get is html text. Do you know a way to convert it? I don’t see any option Tried assigning mail.isbodyhtml = false in the for each but it doesn’t work. Thank you for your help, Zew

Why is it not working in my case? I have tried same contain and its not working in my case.

[PrankurJoshi]

What is the issue it is showing? Also I am assuming that SenderBody is a String variable.

Can you try to have one regex variable and initialize it

regex = new System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex

Then try to use your code

regex.Replace(SenderBody, "<.*?>", string.Empty)

Thanks,

[Karthick_Settu]

First Replace br , div , tr tags with Enviornment.Newline and then replace the string with Regex.Replace(msg.Body,“<.*?>”,string.Empty)…This gives the plain text in correct format.

[Kuenzang (Marry)]

What is variable type of regex, as it gives an error “Overload resolution failed because no accessible ‘New’ accepts this number of arguments”.

[PrankurJoshi]

Variable type is mentioned in above post. Can you share your workflow?

Thanks,

Hi,

Id like to be able to get the text inside an html element.
So go through the body find all text inside the ‘pre’ tag and save it in a string.

[AnithaH]

Hey Karthick,

Can you share with me an example .xaml for replacing div break and tr tags?

[AnithaH]

Hi Kuenzang,

please let me know as to how did that work…!im not able to resolve it:confused:

[Mr.StarLord_AO (Anjanna Ollala)]

hey @AnithaH

use this within assign activity.

Convert.ToString(Regex.Replace(remove_html_string, “<[^>]+>|&nbsp”, string.Empty)).Replace(“&#8203”,string.Empty).Replace(“v:* {behavior:url(default#VML);}”,string.Empty).Replace(“o:* {behavior:url(default#VML);}”,string.Empty).Replace(“w:* {behavior:url(default#VML);}”,string.empty).Replace(“.shape {behavior:url(default#VML);}”,string.Empty)

[AnithaH]

hey @Mr.StarLord_AO its working…Awesome…!!! Thanks much!

[Oumayma_LAJILI]

I didn t understand how can i use it in assign activity and how can i access the text of a specific balise

[Mr.StarLord_AO (Anjanna Ollala)]

create a new string variable(new_mailBody) and assign the entire entire thing given below by replacing original_mailbody with mailmessage body.

@Mr.StarLord_AO

new_mailBody = Convert.ToString(Regex.Replace(original_mailbody, “<[^>]+>|&nbsp”, string.Empty)).Replace(“&#8203”,string.Empty).Replace(“v:* {behavior:url(default#VML);}”,string.Empty).Replace(“o:* {behavior:url(default#VML);}”,string.Empty).Replace(“w:* {behavior:url(default#VML);}”,string.empty).Replace(“.shape {behavior:url(default#VML);}”,string.Empty)

[Oumayma_LAJILI]

thanks a lot , it works

[salladinne (Karol Jankowski)]

Mr Star, works perfectly.
For some reason the other solution proposed in the topics here, having to do with replace “br”, div and tr with environment.newlines completely didn’t work for me…
