Greets: Been a long time since I posted in this forum but have a simple issue. What I would like to do is write a simple script that parses filtered emails in kmail and print out specific content of that mail to my .gpsdrive/way.txt file Background: Have a buddy sailing down the east coast and he use spot http://www.findmespot.com/en/ to broadcast his position daily. These are all filtered by author via kmail. I'm interested only in the lat and lon coordinates and to feed them to gpsdrive/way.txt file in standardized format. Standard email contents ------------------------------------------ ESN:0-7361228A <------- this is the user code Latitude:40.1058 <--- need only the data Longitude:-74.0526 < -- same as above way.txt format --------------------------------- svAdena 40.097750 -74.064962 waypoint 0 0 0 0 (name of waypoint) (lat) (lon) (coord description) All email that needs to be parses is already located in a filtered kmail folder. Any insight on how to do this would be appreciated as I'm clueless when it comes to writing scripts. -- /ch -- OCLUG general discussion list [email protected] http://oclug.on.ca/mailman/listinfo/oclug
