You can omit the '\' before spaces:
* 1^1 ( float |> . <)
it will make the text a little bit readable because '\<' and
'\>' have special meaning.
Is that because spaces are protected by the parens?
Yes and No, the spaces are part of the string you are looking
for. B_U_T, you may ask how procmail will know where the string
start (you can put spaces betwin flags). What we like to do is
put null parenthesis or put the whole string in parenthesis:
If you are looking for " abc"
* () abc
Or
* ( abc)
If you are looking for "a bc", all you need is:
* a bc
If I have space at the end of the string I put enpty ()
to make it more readable: For example "abc "
* abc ()
Bye,
Udi
