Email Parsing

[Robert Johns]

How would I only pull links from the email's body and not the full
email.

require 'net/pop'
require 'rubygems'
require 'tmail'

username = ' '
pass = ' '

Net:OP3.enable_ssl(OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE)
Net:OP3.start('pop.gmail.com', 995, username, pass) do |pop|
if pop.mails.empty?
puts "No mail"
else
pop.each_mail do |mail|
email = TMail::Mail.parse(mail.pop)
p email.body
end
end
end


Thanks

"Links" to me implies that this is an HTML email. In that case, just
parse the body with an HTML parser (e.g. nokogiri). It can easily pull
out all the A (anchor) tags with their href attributes.

If it's plain text, but contains URLs like http://..., then you can
match the body against a regexp. e.g.

p body.scan(%r{\bhttps?://\S+})

That worked out well thank you very much.

Who'll remember my song or my face.
