On (09:35 11/12/08), Dave Wood <dave(_at_)unrealize(_dot_)co(_dot_)uk> put
forth the proposition:
I would like to know if it's possible to search for words contained in an
external file. Something like:
BADWORDS=`cat $HOME/.badwords`
:0
* ^Subject:.*${BADWORDS}*
spam
This doesn't work and I'm guesing that it's looking for a match of all the
output of cat rather than checking each word.
Solved I think. I separated each word with | so my word file looks like
word1|word2|word3 Then used [ ] in the test:
:0
* ^Subject:.*[${BADWORDS}]*
spam
Seems to work now but need more testing.
This is the idea anyway. If anyone has some suggestions on how to do it
that would be great.
Cheers

Improve his shining tail,
And pour the waters of the Nile
On every golden scale!
How cheerfully he seems to grin,
How neatly spreads his claws,
And welcomes little fishes in,
With gently smiling jaws!
