# Reading a Mail Bar Code

This code snippet shows how to read Mail Bar codes and retrieve the decoded data.

## C++

```cpp
#include <eVision/EasyBarCode/EasyMailBarcode/EMailBarcodeReader.h>
```

```cpp
using namespace eVision;

// Image constructor
EImageBW8 srcImage;
// Mail barcode reader constructor
EMailBarcodeReader reader;

// Select expected symbologies and orientations (optional)
reader.SetExpectedSymbologies(5);
reader.SetExpectedOrientations(5);
// ...
// Read
std::vector<EMailBarcode> codes = reader.Read(srcImage);
// Retrieve the data included in found mail bar codes
for (unsigned int index = 0; index < codes.size(); index++)
{
  std::string text = codes[index].GetText();
  std::vector<EStringPair> components = codes[index].GetComponentStrings();
}
```
