Need help with my apex method

Hi, I got my method to add one record to my custom sobject but now I am having trouble adding multiply records to my sobject with one email. 

 

Method:


String delim = '---';
String[] emailBody = email.plainTextBody.split('\n', 0);
Account__c newAccount = new Account__c();

try{

for (Integer i=0; emailBody.size() != i; i++) {
    String[] values = emailBody[i].split(delim, 2);
    newAccount.put(values[0], values[1]);
}                                                  

}

catch (System.DmlException e)
{

System.debug('ERROR: Not able to create person:' + e);

}


insert newAccount;

 

In the body of the email, the message looks like this:

 

First Name__c --- John

Last Name__c --- Doe

Age__c --- 45

BirthDate__c --- 1/1/1955

 

I have been trying to add multiply account records to a single email and splitting each account with a <Start> and <End>. That way I can add 20 or more records with a single email. So the email body looks like this:

 

<Start>

First Name --- John

Last Name --- Doe
Age --- 45
BirthDate --- 1/1/1955

<End> 

<Start>

First Name --- Steve

Last Name --- Doe
Age --- 45
BirthDate --- 1/1/1955

<End> 

<Start>

First Name --- Peter

Last Name --- Doe
Age --- 45
BirthDate --- 1/1/1955

<End>

 

Thank you for any help and advice you can give.

Hi,

 

pass data in xml format and then try to read it using xmlStreamReader

 

for e.g.

 

 

<users>
	<user>
	<fname>Steve</fname>
	<lname>Doe</lname>
	<age>45</age>
	<bdate style="dd/MM/yyyy">1/1/1955</bdate>
	</user>
	<user>
	<fname>Steve</fname>
	<lname>Doe</lname>
	<age>45</age>
	<bdate style="dd/MM/yyyy">1/1/1955</bdate>
	</user>
	<user>
	<fname>Steve</fname>
	<lname>Doe</lname>
	<age>45</age>
	<bdate style="dd/MM/yyyy">1/1/1955</bdate>
	</user>
	<user>
	<fname>Steve</fname>
	<lname>Doe</lname>
	<age>45</age>
	<bdate style="dd/MM/yyyy">1/1/1955</bdate>
	</user>
</users>
 
String xmlString = email.plainTextBody();
XmlStreamReader xsr = new XmlStreamReader(xmlString);

Wow thank you so much. I was wondering how the xmlsteamreader will add each record or does the xmlstreamreader let me pick the field type and the name that i am adding. So I can use the put(1,2).
