Get Received Mails using Some specific part of Subject

[AbhijitPatil]

Hi,
I am using get received mails in Microsoft outlook VBO.
I want to retrieve mails using subject line, but not with whole line.
I need to retrieve with some specific part of that subject line. When I use some of the part then it is showing item count zero.
what should be the correct expression for that?
Can I use wildcard? if yes then how?

Format of subject line :  "Abhijit - xyz-123456-12162021-0001.xls"
Need to retrieve with:   "xyz-123456"    or  "123456 only"

------------------------------
Thank You,
Abhijit Patil

Hi Abhijit,

You can retrive mails using specific part of subject line. Try using wildcards like "*xyz-12345*"


Thanks,
Joshna

Hi @JoshnaDammala,
Thanks for the reply.
It is working fine.
But actually xyz is a data item and 12345 is also different data item.
when I used data item, it is showing zero count and when using above format it is working fine.
Could you please suggest how to do with data item.

Thank you
