I have copied the following recipe from the news group.
I am confused by a few things. I have tried to read to find the answers but its
a little confusing for me. The word wrap is a little off I have tried to adjust
it to make it clear.
I understand a lot of what is here but what I'm confused at is
some of the relationships between some of the syntax.
1. I'm confused by what (....lingerie (adult|nude|live).. does.
or more to the point what strings this would find. I have tried a variety but
it doesnt seem to work.
2. Simimarly, (streaming\|) is the \ there to un clasify the |
so that it finds "streaming|" ?
3. When you get two brackets what happens. (streaming\|)(video|feed)
Im sure people will point me to a web site that talks all about brackets but
while I can find lots of info on |, ^ [] very little on
(). In this case, and indeed in this whole recipe how do (...)(...)
react to each other.
4. Finally (...live\ *(show|...)(..) I dont understand why someone would use *
. This is a global as long as you dont use \<word>\ shouldn't procmail find any
combination of substrings into strings.
eg "get-the-word-out" "Wordperfect".
One of the hard lessons I have learned from reading David W. Tamkins
email in the archives is the concept of over lapping words. When whole word
\<... >\ recipes are used. That helped a lot!!
