Groovy regex filemail
A groovy regex file mail!
Here's a regex pattern that matches a file mail (a file attached to an email):
^From:.*\r\nTo:.*\r\nSubject:.*\r\n\r\n(?<file_name>.*\.([a-zA-Z0-9]+))\r\n(?<file_data>.*)
Let me break it down:
^From:.*\r\nTo:.*\r\nSubject:.*\r\n\r\n
: This matches the email headers (From, To, Subject) followed by a blank line (\r\n\r\n
).(?<file_name>.*\.([a-zA-Z0-9]+))
: This is a capture group that matches the file name. The.*
matches any characters (including the dot.
), and the([a-zA-Z0-9]+)
matches one or more alphanumeric characters (the file extension). The(?<file_name>
syntax names this group as "file_name".(?<file_data>.*))
: This is another capture group that matches the file data. The.*
matches any characters (including the file contents). The(?<file_data>
syntax names this group as "file_data".
Here's an example of how this regex pattern would match a file mail:
From: [email protected]
To: [email protected]
Subject: File attachment
file.txt
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="file.txt"
This is the file contents...
In this example, the regex pattern would match the following:
file_name
: "file.txt"file_data
: "This is the file contents..."
Note that this regex pattern assumes that the file mail has a simple format with a single file attachment. If your file mails have a more complex format (e.g., multiple attachments, different content types), you may need to modify the regex pattern accordingly.
