RE: Searching for single word

thanks. that go me a little further:

:0Bi
* ()\<\/(foo|FOO)\>

however, this matches:

foo
FOO

as well as:

/foo/

i want it to match

" foo "

(basically foo by itself)

as well as when it is at the beginning or end of line.

also, if (foo|FOO) necessary, or is the procmail matching case
insensitive?

Are you using the procmail
:0 B
for body only?

I am trying to create a rule that will search the body of

look for a particular word (FOO).

here is what i have thus far:

* ()\<\/(FOO)\>

i also have:

 *(foo|FOO)*

neither of them work. The second catches everything. I have 
searched the
archives for a solution, and found the first one, but it 
isn't working
for me either.

So:

1. does anyone see anything wrong with either of my rules above?

2. does anyone have any suggestions?

I assuming that the above rules search the entire email. 
How do I limit
it to the Body? What about the body and subject (just us an | (or))?

I am just learning regular expressions, so I am sure I have done
something wrong.

I appreciate any input...
