#4428 — Email Parsing

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::POP3.enable_ssl(OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE)
Net::POP3.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+})

BTW... we're discussing stabbing you in the 'indenting "end"' thread. :)

Though the folk I have met,
(Ah, how soon!) they forget
When I've moved on to some other place,
There may be one or two,
When I've played and passed through,
Who'll remember my song or my face.
