where to extract?

[email_pw]
type=extract
front1=Your password is:|Ihr passwort lautet:
back=\n

by this example, we can guess it extract from email message, but how gsa know it?

SER reads an email to approve the account with the following text in the html code:

"bla bla bla...

Your password is: XYZ123

bla bla bla...."

front part is "your password is: " and backpart is the regular expression of a line break "\n". the characters between front and back is the password which SER extracs for the login or that account.

thanks, Ozz, but my question is how gsa know it extract from a email but NOT a url?

in the script should be a command like "extract from=email" or something like that.

if there is no "extract from=email"  GSA will extract from page currently submitting to or just last response page?

make it easier for us and say on what script you are working on. that said, i don't know everything. especially if i have absolutely no clue when i don't know which script is in use.
