Ok,
After a fun three days of playing with just about every regex I can think
of, I think I am on the right track.
I only have one problem, the regex below works great when I run it inside of
a stand alone perl script, but it does not work when I run it with procmail
(It only deletes the periods and nothing else).
Here is the exact text I want to delete.
## Beginning of text to delete ##

## End of text to delete ##
Here is my script:
:0 bw : $filename.LOCKEXT
*^From:(_dot_)*k12news(_at_)k12(_dot_)com*
*^Subject:.K12 News
| perl -p -e 's/\.{10,}.*?\.{10,}//sg' | \
tee $filename | \
mail -s "K12 News" distro-list(_at_)chandler(_dot_)k12(_dot_)az(_dot_)us -f
basilr(_at_)chandler(_dot_)k12(_dot_)az(_dot_)us
I know I am being a pain in the butt on this one, but I am sooo close to
getting this finished.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
