I cannot understand why the last ones do not match the header above.
Any suggestions?
I could be corrected, but I believe that these can be seen to "say" look for
the word "From" at
the beginning of the line, followed by a space AND THEN FOLLOWED BY ONE OR MORE
CHARACTERS,
followed by "vim-ret". In the second rule, the trailing * is unnecessary, and
the two filters are
the same. Since your data is "From vim-ret", the filter fails because of my
upper-cased comment
above. If you make either rule "^From.*vim-ret", it will trip, although with
the possibility of
false positives in cases like "From anyvim-retiree", etc. If you know that the
^From line will be
the only only one that you wish to trap, try "^From vim-ret".
Best of luck,
Steve
