How do I access security code from email (web mail)?

Question

Patients received two separate email after signing up with the hospital. One contains the link to the page where they can login. The second email contains a security code. Using TestComplete 12 with Jscript and pretty new to scripting.

I am using mailinator.com to access the emails. So far, I have successfully managed to click on the link for sign-up. Currently I am trying to figure out how to retrieve the security code from the second email. The security code email message contains the following message:

"Your AMG - Facility forms access code is 22RP3DPM. You will receive a link to your forms using your primary email address. You will need this access code to use the forms link. Further instructions will be available after using the access code to access the forms."

The text in blue remains constant in every message. The string in red (access code) is assigned dynamically. I'm trying to figure out how to get the access code from this message.

I really appreciate any help I can get.

Thanks

Dave

Here you go,&nbsp;If you call&nbsp; getSecurityCode() then you will get return value as your security code&nbsp;&nbsp;function test()
{
 Log.Message(getSecurityCode("&lt;Your Message body text&gt;"))
}&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;function getSecurityCode(str_EmailBody)
{
      
      var staticStringStart = "access code is ";
      var staticStringEnd = ". You will";
      
      var startPos = aqString.Find(str_EmailBody,0,false) + aqString.GetLength(staticStringStart);
      var endPos = aqString.Find(str_EmailBody,staticStringEnd,0,false);
      
      Log.Message(aqString.SubString(str_EmailBody,startPos,endPos - startPos));
      return aqString.SubString(str_EmailBody,startPos,endPos - startPos);
}&nbsp;

Gotcha... You missed to type the staticStringStart in your startPos code. :)&nbsp;var startPos = aqString.Find(massageString,staticStringStart, 0, false) + aqString.GetLength(staticStringStart);&nbsp;

In JavaScript/JScript and other similar languages, the "return" statement sends back to the caller the value following return.
&nbsp;
EDIT - Return is actually fairly universal. &nbsp;The syntax of how it is used is a bit different from language to language but, generally, if you have a method that should return a value, you'll use&nbsp;returnSo, if I do the following:
&nbsp;
function foo(myName) {
   var relationship;
   switch(myName) {
   case 'ROBERT': 
        relationship = 'FATHER';
        break;
   case 'HEATHER': 
        relationship = 'MOTHER';
        break;
   case 'NATALIA', 'CHARIS': 
         relationship = 'DAUGHTER';
         break;
   default relationship = 'NOT RELATED';
   }
}

function bar() {
    Log.Message(foo('CHARIS'));
}
And run just the bar function, my output will say 'DAUGHTER'.
&nbsp;
In your case, the function returns your access code which you can then assign to a variable and use anywhere else you need it.

I am getting "cility forms access code is 22RP3DPM", when I am running the following script:&nbsp;function emailMessage(){

var emailMessage = Aliases.browser.pageMailinator.frameMessage.panelAccessCode

var massageString = emailMessage.GetAttribute("innerText")

{
     Log.Message(massageString)
  }

var staticStringStart = "access code is ";
	var staticStringEnd = ". You will";
      
  var startPos = aqString.Find(massageString, 0, false) + aqString.GetLength(staticStringStart);
  var endPos = aqString.Find(massageString, staticStringEnd, 0, false);
      
  Log.Message(aqString.SubString(massageString, startPos, endPos - startPos));
  return aqString.SubString(massageString, startPos, endPos - startPos);
}I tried&nbsp;var staticStringStart = "\"Your AMG - Facility forms access code is&nbsp;";&nbsp;Got same result. Can not figure out how to get rid of "cility forms access code is " !&nbsp;Any idea?&nbsp;Thanks&nbsp;Dave

Fabulous! It worked! Thank you so very much. I will have to study the logic behind what you just showed me, when I have a little downtime.&nbsp;I am learning every day. Thanks to all the pros in this board like yourself. :)
