Extracting information from an email.

Extracting information from an email.

Im creating a booking system for a hostel. We receive regular emails every time a booking is made through hostelbookers. Everytime a booking is made an email is sent. What i would like to know is how extract data from an email, every email is written in a set format. I know how to forward the email to the zoho email address so that i can import the message body. But is it possible to tell the database where to extract information from that message body, such as number of people, date?, because the format is always the same.
