Re: Code to check for HTML messages being sent

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Sounds over complicated to me. I'd just get HTMLBody as a string and then break it down by line breaks. First I'd find the starting point of the <body> tag and then look for the terminating ">" on that. Then I'd extract all of the string between there and the start of the </body> tag, that's the actual body content.

From there I'd look for breaks such as <br> and paragraphs and whatever
other breaks are in the text and count characters between the breaks.

Of course you also have to account for non-character tags such as <td>, <tr>, etc. and for attributes such as font, color, etc.

Hi Ken,

What I was think I would need to do is put all the lines of HTML data in the body of the message in an indexed (multiples of 10) array, line by line. Then I would delete the message body. Then I would run through each line in the array and check it for the number of characters contained. For any that contain more that 900 then I would insert an entry that is indexed 1 above the affecting line. So if line 3 was too long containing 3000 characters it would have an index of 30 and I would create three more lines and index them:
31, containing 900 characters
32, containing 900 characters, and
333 containing 300 characters.

I would then sort the array in ascending order on the index and write it back to the body of the message (without the index column that is).

That all sounds like a lot of mission. Am I perhaps over-complicating things? Is there not a better way to get at it?

TIA,

Jarryd
