script to pull info from my email?
Hi, I need help writing a script that would pull info from an email inbox and add it to an Evolution Calendar. I'm pretty sure I can google the commands to add the info to the calendar. The part that I really need help with is getting the info from the email into the command. Basically for work, when I accept an assignment, I get an email from an automated system that provides the job details. I'd like to pull the "who", "when" and "where" info and add that to the calendar. The emails are formated in a consistent fashion so the info I need will always be given in the same way.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm new scripting and commands like 'grep'

Thank you.
