Transfer data from Email to Excel file

[abhi]

I'm trying to transfer text data from my email to an excel file, but the problem is I don't know how to cordinate each category in separate cells.

Example(This is what I get in my email)
FirstName : John
LastName : Smith

With this info I want to put "John" under First Name column and "Smith" under LastName column in the excel file on my computer. How would go about doing this??

Thank you for your help

You are going to need to do some programming. What language(s) are you familiar with?

[abhi]

I know HTML, JavaScript, and very little php

[russell]

well, you're going to need a way to save the email, or the contents of the email as a file, then write a php script to parse it. the split() (http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.split.php) function will be helpful.

[abhi]

Are there any examples which uses split() in a similar manner OR examples or Tutorials that explain parsing data??

Thank you very much

also, try posting in php section for saving off as a file and parsing.

php.net (along with this forum of course) should be your favorite web site if you are learning php
