Extract some content from a Word document and email it

[abdulahhamzic]

Hey, everyone.

I am pretty new to AutoIt. So far, I have been using the AutoIt docs, Google, and this forum, and it's been really helpful. This is my first question here, since I think this might be something that I won't be able to find the appropriate answer to anywhere on the Internet. Or at least that's how it seems.

Basically, what I want to do is take some data from a Word document, not the whole document, but rather extract some specific data, and then, when sending an email, I want to include that data in the email body. I don't want it to be an attachment, but rather the data should be there in the email body as if I copied the data from the Word document and pasted it in the email body. Note: My code for the email part is based on the code I found here: 

 

Well, if anyone can help me with this, I would really appreciate it.

Thank you.

To handle the Word part I suggest to have a  look at the Word UDF that comes with AutoIt.
The mail creation/sending part depends on the mail client you run to access your GMail account. Outlook, Web-client ...?

Thank you for your answer.

Is it possible to extract some data from a Word document along with all of its formatting using the Word UDF though?

Also, check the post I have linked in my original post. That's what I am using for the email part. So, it's Gmail, but I'm not actually running a client on the desktop. I'm just using the code that you can see under the post I've linked, and it sends the email in the background without running a mail client, if that makes sense.

Yes.
But I have never tried to convert parts of a document to HTML (which is the only format the mail function supports to keep all the formatting).
