Re: Space at end of subject question

2002-07-24 08:49:52
 Thank you all for your help on this problems. You have pointed
to the ( ) missing. Im afraid Im a little unclear on when or when
not to use (). I mean why wount it work with out them? 

I know that it is a basic regular expression issue but
I have not found very much on defining what they do or how to use
them properly. There is lots of information on  [ ] * / etc. 
but I have not been able to find any good info on () can 
anyone give me a short description of how they interact 
with regular expression.

Thank you

I have the following recipe that I took from someone here some time 
ago. It works great but recently I discovered that it does not catch
strings at the end of the subject line.


:0
* ^Received:.*\.\/(ar|au|br|cc|ch|cn|de|gr|hu|il|jp|kr|lv|\
                   my|ne|nl|no|nu|pl|ru|sk|su|tw|uk|za)[^-._0-9a-z]
* MATCH ?? ^^\/[a-z]+

:0:
* ^Subject:.*SOLVE SEPTIC|WIN CASH

       (SOLVE SEPTIC|WIN CASH)
      ^^                     ^^


IN-JUNK

}

After doing some testing that this recipe does not work if either of 
the search phrases are the last string in the subject line eg.

 Subject: Today Win Cash

or 

 Subject: buy Solve Septic

I dont think i realized this but after doing some testing this 
appears to be true. How can I make it so that it will catch the words 
if they are the last words int he Subject.
