Scrip to add watchers from mail body

Hi list,

I¹m trying to create a scip that will add several watchers from a mail body
on ticket creation. It works alright for the first line but can¹t get it to
add several watchers. I¹ve followed
SetTicketPropertiesViaMail - Request Tracker Wiki but I¹m not
too confident with perl to get it work.

My message body looks like this:

Set-CC:john.doe@mycompany.com
Set-CC:marcus.whatever@mycompany.com
Set-CC:brian.surname@mycompany.com

And my scrip looks like:

my $AttachObj = $self->TransactionObj->Attachments->First;

go out if content is not text!

unless( $AttachObj->ContentType =~ /^text/ ) {
return 1;
}

my $content = $AttachObj->Content;
if( $content =~ m/^\QSet-CC:\E\s*(\S+)\s*$/m ) {
$self->TicketObj->AddWatcher( Type => “Cc”, Email => $1);
}

strip special commands from email content

$content =~ s/^\QSet-CC:\E\s*(\S+)\s*$//gm;

silently overwrite attachment content

$AttachObj->__Set( Field => ‘Content’, Value => $content );
1;

I guess I should make the scrip go through each line but don¹t know how?

Thank in advance
Johan

Since noone replyid I figured it out myself :wink:
There might be an easier way to do it but this works for me. Basically I
create an array of the content splitted by space (or newline) and then go
through each line in array to set watchers.

This is my code:

my $attachs = $self->TransactionObj->Attachments;
my $AttachObj;

while( my $a = $attachs->Next )
{
if( $a->ContentType eq ‘text/plain’ )
{
$AttachObj = $a;
last
}
}
unless ($AttachObj)
{
unless ( $AttachObj = $self->TransactionObj->Attachments->First )
{
return 1;
}
unless( $AttachObj->ContentType =~ /^text/ ) {
return 1;
}
}

my $content = $AttachObj->Content;
my @arrayBody = split(’ ', $content);
foreach my $line (@arrayBody) {
if( $line =~ m/^\QSet-CC:\E\s*(\S+)\s*$/m ) {
$self->TicketObj->AddWatcher( Type => “Cc”, Email => $1);
$RT::Logger->info( "User “. $1 . " added as watcher to Ticket #” .
$self->TicketObj->Id);
}
}

strip special commands from email content

$content =~ s/^\QSet-CC:\E\s*(\S+)\s*$//gm;

silently overwrite attachment content

$AttachObj->__Set( Field => ‘Content’, Value => $content );
