[solved] How can i extract Linux command out of e-mail message?

[postcd]

Hello,

please how can i extract an Linux command out of e-mail message?

I sent an e-mail with this text:

dfgděšřčéáčřéš6356556<='";
pwd: heslo12
cmd: echo "$(date) zzzz";whoami

and in the received e-mail file is:

<div dir=3D"ltr"><h2 id=3D"gmail-:14z" class=3D"gmail-hP" tabindex=3D"-1">d=
fgd=C4=9B=C5=...=99=C3=A9=C5=A1635655<wbr>6=
&lt;=3D&#39;&quot;;</h2><p>pwd: heslo12</p><p>cmd: echo &quot;$(date) =
zzzz&quot;;whoami</p><p>sdfsd<br></p></div>

The e-mail encoding is:
Content-Type: multipart/alternative
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Please which example command can i use to extract that Linux command out of the mail file not knowing which command the file will contain, only knowing that the command will be after string "cmd: " ?

I am able to extract alphanumeric string, but i do not know how to do what i explained.

Thank You

I think this would be quite difficult awk or sed command/s, so i think i will rather make sure e-mail is sent without any special html formating (as a plain text), that way the command seems to remain same as it was typed.

Exactly. Change your email program to send plain text and it should send it properly.
