Regular Expression VBScript Help

[KP]

I am trying to create a script to search every file in a directory.

Each file is an email. I need to delete any files that are sent to an
email address ending in ".com.tw"

Like this:
To: j...@acme.com.tw

I can't get my script to work.

What would be the correct syntax for a regular expression that will
match any line of text that has the To: and the .com.tw in that line
of text?

Here is my script:

dim liner
dim lefter
dim righter
dim objFile
dim objFSO
Const ForReading = 1

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" &
"{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colFiles = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from CIM_DataFile
where Path = '\\test\\'")
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

For Each objFile in colFiles
dim objTextFile, objRegExp
dim strStringToSearch

' Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Set objReadFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile(objFile.Name, 1, false)
Set objTextFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile(objFile.Name, ForReading)
Set objRegExp = New RegExp

objRegExp.IgnoreCase = True
objRegExp.Pattern = "To.com.tw"

strStringToSearch = objTextFile.ReadAll

'if (objRegExp.Test(strStringToSearch)) then
' wscript.echo objFile.Name
'end if

Set Matches = objRegExp.Execute(strStringToSearch)
For Each myMatch in Matches
wscript.echo objFile.Name
' 'wscript.echo myMatch.Value, 0, "Found Match"
Next

Set objRegExp = Nothing 'Clean up!

'objReadFile.close
'wscript.echo contents

Next

'Clean up \ objTextFile.Close
Set objFSO = Nothing
Set objTextFile = Nothing

In what format, *.msg, *.rtf, *.txt, other?

First thing is to open one of the message files in notepad to see if the
string "To: j...@acme.com.tw" actually appears in plain text within the file.

I'm not sure, but if I forwarded your post to your email address and you
saved it as a text file with the other messages it would be deleted even
though it was not sent to anyone at the com.tw domain.

To achieve what you are looking for might require a different approach to
ensure that textual coincidences do not result in errors. What you have
asked is how to delete messages sent to an address matching ..., whereas
your approach seems to be to find any message with a particular text string
in it.
