C++ API to Export EMAIL to TEXT
Transform EMAIL to TEXT within C++ application without requiring Microsoft Word or Outlook
Why to Convert
As a C++ developer, you may need to add email conversion features inside your applications. Email conversion is the process of transforming an email file format to another format. This is useful for a variety of reasons, such as making the email easier to read, or to make it compatible with other applications.
How Aspose.Total Helps for Email to Text Conversion
Aspose.Total for C++ is a comprehensive suite of APIs that can help you with email conversion. It includes two APIs, Aspose.Email for C++ and Aspose.Words for C++. Aspose.Email for C++ can be used to convert EMAIL file format to HTML. After that, Aspose.Words for C++ API can be used to export HTML to TEXT. This makes it easy to convert emails to text format with just a few lines of code. Aspose.Total for C++ also provides other features such as document manipulation, image processing, and more.
C++ API to Convert EMAIL to TEXT
- Open EMAIL file using MailMessage class reference
- Convert EMAIL to HTML by using Save member function
- Load HTML by using Document class
- Save the document to TEXT format using Save method and set Text as SaveFormat
Get Started with C++ File Format APIs
Install from command line as nuget install Aspose.Total.Cpp or via Package Manager Console of Visual Studio with Install-Package Aspose.Total.Cpp.
Alternatively, get the offline MSI installer or DLLs in a ZIP file from downloads .
// load the EMAIL file to be converted
System::SharedPtr<MailMessage> msg = MailMessage::Load(u"sourceFile.msg");
// save EMAIL as a HTML
msg->Save(u"HtmlOutput.html", SaveOptions::get_DefaultHtml());
// load HTML with an instance of Document
System::SharedPtr<Document> doc = System::MakeObject<Document>(u"HtmlOutput.html");
// call save method while passing Text as save format
doc->Save(u"convertedFile.Text");
Parse EMAIL File via C++
Not only you can convert your EMAIL to TEXT, but you can read, manipulate, and parse EMAIL document. You can get subject, address, body, recipients information of the email by using MapiMessage class of Aspose.Email for C++ API. For example, you can check for a specific sender email for the conversion by using get_SenderEmailAddress() property.
// create an instance of MapiMessage from file
System::SharedPtr<MapiMessage> msg = MapiMessage::FromFile(dataDir + L"message.msg");
// get subject
System::Console::WriteLine(System::String(L"Subject:") + msg->get_Subject());
// get from address
System::Console::WriteLine(System::String(L"From:") + msg->get_SenderEmailAddress());
// get body
System::Console::WriteLine(System::String(L"Body") + msg->get_Body());
// get recipients information
System::Console::WriteLine(System::String(L"Recipient: ") + msg->get_Recipients());
C++ API to Restrict TEXT File Format Editing
You can also add document protection features in your app while exporting the document from EMAIL to TEXT. Adding protection to your document is a simple process, as all you need to do is apply the protection method to your document. You can set protection type to ReadOnly to restrict the user to edit the document.
// create a new document and protect it with a password.
auto doc = System::MakeObject<Document>();
// apply Document Protection.
doc->Protect(ProtectionType::ReadOnly, u"password");
// save the document.
doc->Save(u"DocumentProtection.PasswordProtection.Text");
