We are seeking a skilled freelancer to develop a script that renames EML and MSG files and converts them to TXT files. The ideal candidate will have experience in scripting and file conversion, ensuring that the process is efficient and accurate. This project requires attention to detail and the ability to handle email file formats effectively.
I have a directory with 20 or 30 "EML" or "MSG" files. I basically just select emails in Outlook and drag them to a directory in Windows Explorer and it works. The names of the files are mostly the subject, e.g. "meeting.msg" is this email:
From: John Doe
Sent: Wednesday, March 9, 2028 4:08 PM
To: Jane Doe
Subject: meeting
If there are replies back and forth this goes all the way up to "meeting (4).msg" or more. Is it possible to create a script to open each file and rename the files to a better nomenclature, e.g.:
"2022 03 09 16 08 from John Doe - meeting.msg"?
Once the files are renamed, I would also like to convert them to text files.
Same for me if I run this script on my computer, or you keep it and I pay you a fee to process my mails.
