Reading Custom field

[Larry]

I'd like to have a script that will read the contents in Custom 1 for any text. If it finds any text then it will Mark As xx.

I have Custom 1 displaying Annotations (Poco-X-Annotations) but am looking for a quick way to mark all that have text in that field.

I'm at a loss as where to start. Anyone have any ideas?

I did try some existing scripts but they were a little too complicated for what I was trying to do.

Thanks,
Larry

Here is a way to do this within a folder without resorting to a script.

1. Click on the custom column heading, that will sort the message index by that column.
2. Since you are interested in marking any message regardless of text select the first message with text and then, while holding the shift key down, select the last message with text.
3. Right click and select "Mark | ...".

To do this via a script would require selecting all the messages before running the script. This could be done but it's on the clumsy side. At the moment PocoScript can only act on selected messages.

If you did want to do this via a script you'd have to read the headers checking for an "X-Poco-Annotation" header. You would then need to add an "X-Mark" header to the message.

Thanks Michael. The obvious easiest way seemed to elude me.
