-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Many of the mailman based lists use [xxx] in the subject lines: Subject: [iPAQ] a subject or Subject: Re: [iPAQ] a subject I have a rule and condition for both of these constructs: * ^Subject:.Re:.\[iPAQ\] This matches the reply in the normal case. This works fine. Note that the left and right square brackets must be escaped. The problem is when I get a subject such as: Subject: Re: [Gpe] Re: [iPAQ] GPE - GNU PDA Environment My condition for that should match is: * ^Subject:*\[iPAQ\] Note that the leading asterisk is a flag to procmail, so the RE passed to egrep would be: "^Subject:*\[iPAQ\]" I have not tested this by manually running egrep, but it should work. What this ERE shoudl mean is: The line starts with "Subject:" followed by 0 or more characters until the '[iPAQ]'. It's got to be something so simple, what am I missing. I've been doing REs and EREs for 20 years. - -- Jerry Feldman <gaf at blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.5 12/25/2001 iD8DBQE8MdHz+wA+1cUGHqkRApNEAJ0UDmdVfBW8FJlkYc09DupoxnnGtwCeLbfb 12hYtyVUdnu/GAID5JhTQsk= =4NEt -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
