I want to write a condition that will snag ward but not forward, backward,
toward, etc.
I tried this, which I gleaned from the grep man page:
:0BHw:
* \<ward\>
ward
It didn't work. I tried enclosing the condition in quotes, that didn't
work either.
How to do it?
:0BHw:
* ()\<ward\>
ward
or
:0BHw:
* (\<)ward\>
ward
You need to protect the initial \< from the special processing done on the
first character of a condition.
Stephen, can you put a note on the procmailrc manpage about this?
