Outlook filter message

[JackDanIce]

Hi,

I'd like to create a rule in Outlook that filters messages if they begin with a 4 digit number, the number is random so I'm guessing I need a pattern matching type rule? But not sure how to do this when I try to set up a rule.

Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance,
Jack

Just found this: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...eate-a-script-for-the-rules-wizard-in-outlook

Sub CustomMailMessageRule(Item As Outlook.MailItem)   MsgBox "Mail message arrived: " & Item.Subject
End Sub

So I'm guessing it may be something like:

Sub CustomMailMove(Item As Outlook.MailItem)
Dim str as String
 If Left$(Header, 4) Like [0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9] Then
    'If header is "3475 - Peter Smith Social" str = "3475 - Peter Smith"
   str = <see above, need to figure out string until 4th space and return left of>
   Create Outlook.Folder(str)
 End If
End Sub

Attempt at code, expecting it to be incorrect
