I have the program working with emails I get from my other leads. However, this one is in a table format and I can't seem to extract the correct information.
Can you tell me how to extract the email and 1st name of my lead?

Send me a copy of the responder and the email source so that I can take a look at it.

Step 1 : Add the Sample Message to the responder

  1. Edit the autoresponder message.
  2. Select the 'Test' tab
  3. Click the 'Load message' button.
  4. Click the 'connect' button to load the messages and select the appropriate message from the list.
  5. Click OK to save the Responder.


Step 2 : Send us the responder

  1. Select Tools / Database from the main menu.
  2. Click 'Export/Import' button.
  3. Select the 'Export Responder' tab.
  4. Choose the problematic responder from the combo box.
  5. Enter the file name that will store the responder information.
    Note the location of this file.
  6. Click the 'Start Export' button.
  7. Start your email program and attach this file.
    Let us know what fields need to be extracted.

From your email I see that the table layout as follows:
Code:
First Name             Last Name
Jane                   Baker
 
E-mail                 Website
bob@somewhere.com      www.somewhere.com


Let's say you want to extract the first name, last name and the email address.

To extract the first name field

  • 'Start of Data Field'
    For the FROM select 'Specific text'
    For the TEXT enter First Name(.*?)Last Name
  • 'End of Data Field'
    For the FROM select 'Use Match String'
    For the TEXT enter 1


To extract the last name field

  • 'Start of Data Field'
    For the FROM select 'Specific text'
    For the TEXT enter Last Name(.*?)E-mail
  • 'End of Data Field'
    For the FROM select 'Use Match String'
    For the TEXT enter 1


To extract the email field

  • 'Start of Data Field'
    For the FROM select 'Specific text'
    For the TEXT enter E-mail(.*?)Website
  • 'End of Data Field'
    For the FROM select 'Use Match String'
    For the TEXT enter 1
