How to handle Apostrophe in Subject Line

[sapna_soni0290]

Hi Team,

I have a scenario. I have 5-6 different subject lines which may come in the email. I want to store all of them into Enviornment variable via comma separated. In two of my subject lines apostrophe is coming in like - "Diner's club add". How can i pass this value of subject line with apostrophe into it as an input parameter to my email utility to extract the received emails. 

I am planning to first get the value from env var into a collection. So i have a collection with 1 column & 6 rows. I will use loop to get to the rows. The problem is its not able to pass the specific row which has  apostrophe. Getting Error -
Internal : Could not execute code stage because exception thrown by code stage: Cannot parse condition. Error at "@SQL=urn:schemas:httpmail:subject LIKE '...".

HI Sapna Soni,

If I understand your question you want the result collection  having exact match "Diners club add"?  and discard other emails?

Hi

The filter is already using "like" operator so basically it is like wild card and case will be ignored and i guess you no need to pass any "*" along with subject

Try passing you subject in lower case 

also check in the code "@SQL=urn:schemas:httpmail:subject LIKE '%yoursubject%'" in this manner

Another option would be to use the BP provided "Utility - Strings" and remove (delete) all punctuation from your text.  This way any other unusual email subjects would also be dealt with within the single process step:



These are the characters to delete (with associated quotation marks - ","".""!"":"";""'""""""-"

As with all things RPA, there is always more than one solution.
