[rt-users] ExtractCustomFieldValues with attachments.

[Roy Sowa]

JS, I spoke too soon...
 The issue now is that I extract fine from the attachment, but now if the matchstring is in the first attachment it is not found...
So I have put back the original file, and am back to not being able to extract from attachments ..
So between the two files is the solution...
I want to extract the MatchString if it is in either.
Off to review the diffs and logic....but if anyone can help me out of the weeds

The problem is with the FindMatch function. It only checks the first
attachment. I overhauled this perl module quite a bit. Here's my version
attached. Diff this one to yours to see the differences. :-)
