I merely showed how you could extravt the data you wanted.
You can place the %SubPatt="n" macros anywhere you like in your template.

It can look like this:

First Name: %SubPatt="1"
Last Name: %SubPatt="2"
Email: %SubPatt="3"

But you can also use them in a macro like this:
%From='%SubPatt="1" %SubPatt="2" <%SubPatt="3">'
So you create a message with the credentials of the entered data. In a similar way you can automatically send a receipt confirmation to the poster of the web form.

Roelof many thanks for the quick response.

Tried that out and got that working Ok.

One more question;
if I run that the fields as extracted, how do I build the results i.e. %SubPatt="1" into my email forward template so that the headings remain?

If I run it as written the resulting email looks like:-

Bert
Stubbins
bertstubbins@bertstubbins.com

Where as I would like it to look like:-

First Name: Bert
Last Name: Stubbins
Email: bertstubbins@bertstubbins.com

Sorry to be a pain, but I am quite new to this

Regards

Provided that your message starts with the text you cited you could use something like this to extract the fields you're interested in:

%SetPattRegExp="(?is)First Name: '(.*?)'\nLast Name: '(.*?)'\nEmail: '(.*)'\n(.*)"%-
%RegExpBlindMatch="%Text"%-
%SubPatt="1"
%SubPatt="2"
%SubPatt="3"

I receive a large number of emails generated via forms (that I am unable to edit/control)on our websites where the fields are defined like:

First Name: 'Bert'
Last Name: 'Stubbins'
Email: 'bertstubbins@bertstubbins.com'
....
etc

I need to forward these mails on using various filters and would like the forwarded message to have the ' around the fields removed.

Can anybody give me some advice?

Many thanks
