After running GS the 'Full Name' QT the output received was Strong, Greg (Rr-Ml). snip GS I'll have to learn more about RegEx and macros to understand why GS the 'M' is being picked up. That one is easy. The regexp in the initials QT looks for a dash, underscore, equals sign, at symbol, period or whitespace as the delimiters for a word. Additionally the initial must be a valid alphanumeric character (a-z, A-Z, 0-9). So the parentheses are treated as neither a word delimiter nor a valid initial, so the R is skipped. That leaves the M. I could add parentheses to the list of valid delimiters, but I don't think it is worthwhile. After all, how often does someone have a real part of their name in parentheses? Now you could argue that I should ignore anything in quotes, parentheses or some other marking scheme. I could try to do that, but it would add a tremendous level of complexity for very little gain. That and it would be a lot of work to try and get such an expression to be as robust as the current one. GS Any better ideals on how to differentiate my different email accounts so GS I don't mess up the macros? You could modify the full name QT to better suit your needs if you wanted. You don't *have* to pull the name from the address book. In fact, it might be preferable to *not* do that. That's personal taste. JA [1] Syntax may have changed slightly, but from a quick glance, they JA look the same. GS Since Beta/8 things kind of went astray. So from posts to this list I've GS made changes. Yes, but only in syntax. From my quick glance, the structure and logic appear to be unchanged. -- Thanks for writing, Januk Aggarwal Using The Bat! 1.63 Beta/10 under Windows 98 4.10 Build A Current beta is 1.63b10 | Using TBBETA information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hi Greg,

GS Any ideals why?
Yes. The new version is wrong and I corrected it myself last night:
GS I'm NO RegEx expert. All of my QTs and templates are the result
GS of help from RegEx experts. I'm using Beta/10. From Beta/7
GS forward has caused problems with my QTs.
This is not a RegEx issue, it's a macro problem.
%IF:%QINCLUDE(ISBAT):%QUOTESTYLE(%Qinclude(Initials))%-
... is what's wrong.
This one works.
,--/ My standard 'q' QT \--
| %IF:%QINCLUDE(ISBAT):%QUOTESTYLE='=%Qinclude(Initials)'%-
| %QINCLUDE(w)

You could probably also say:

| %IF:%QINCLUDE(ISBAT):%QUOTESTYLE('=%Qinclude(Initials)')%-
| %QINCLUDE(w)
`-8-
Without the '=' sign, it is unreliable. The single quotes are needed
too.

I started reading this but got stuck.
What's this `%QINCLUDE('Full Name')`?
Is 'Full Name' a QT? If so, you failed to include it.
Also, if it is, I would write `%QInclude='Full Name'`.
So, with new notation, shouldn't it be `%QInclude(Full Name)`?

Hi Bill,

mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] said to Greg:

Certainly not. It has already been explicitly stated that quotes are
required inside the brackets if the parameter includes spaces or
brackets. Thus %QInclude('Full Name') is correct.

MDP Not at all. You already have a QT. You're using it. Or was it just

It was a segment of my reply template. See changes I made below.
MDP No, you just need to change the template you already have to use
MDP the %QUOTESTYLE('=%qinclude(Initials)') syntax instead of
MDP %QUOTESTYLE(%qinclude(Initials)) you currently have because it's
MDP wrong.
Ok I've made changes, but still get wrong initials on reply to
mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I get SGM instead of GS.
I'll box quote pertinent chain of reply template with QT's below.

I would think the problem is in the 'Initials' QT, but for the life of
me I can't find the message where I got it. I thought it was the last
week or so. Total frustration. Best to put this one down and forget
about it.
