Re: Regexp. Should be easy I think..
Hello Leif, On Tuesday, April 20, 2004 at 20:13 GMT -0600, a stampede was started when Leif Gregory hollered: It just occurred to me, if you're using PHP, can't you get all the info you need without using regexps? I seem to recall that there are built in functions that can get you pretty much any info you want, though I can't find it in the phpinfo() function... I'm pretty sure the HTTP request type will always be first so I can anchor with ^, but IIS likes to put the SERVER before the DATE, and Sambar is the reverse. So, my thinking was that if I did the HTTP part and then moved up to the first : and backed up to the first whitespace, I could grab the next chunk (either DATE or SERVER) up to the next : (and then back to the first whitespace), and continue that until I hit the EOL. You can do that with the chunk that I wrote. What I don't know is how php handles regexps. I know in VBScript, when you do a regexp, all possible matches are stored in an array, so it is pretty easy to get out all the parts you want. In TB, that isn't the case, so I tend to forget about that option. If php will populate an array, then you're golden. The regexp could be fairly simple. JA (?i)(Date:\s*.*?)((\s\S+:\s)|\z) JA But increasing accuracy has the price of decreasing tolerance for JA errors in the string. Exactly. The way I wrote the above regexp, you should be pretty accurate without losing any generality. I didn't check an Apache server (I'll do that tomorrow) to see how it outputs its HTTP headers. I am looking for something generic, hence my hoping I could use the : as jump points to back up from. If you really want to do that, you should use a look-ahead assertion. Something like: (\S*:\s*.*?)\s(?=\S*:\s) I haven't tried this in PHP, but in principle it should work. Right. That shouldn't be a problem. I have a list of the atoms for PHP and they are close to TB. Excellent. Do you mind sending me either a link or the list (off list if you like)? I was slowly learning some PHP stuff myself, so that could be very useful. I had considered that (just doing multiple reg matches), but wondered if there was a better way. It is a very small script, so it wouldn't really kill the performance by doing multiple reg matches. Like I mentioned above, if PHP fills an array with all the matches, you get the best of both worlds. So far, this one has always been first. It'll get ugly if it pops up somewhere else on some strange webserver. Well then, it doesn't have to be hard, just use: ^(.*?)\s+(\S*:\s) The order does change with exception to HTTP that I've discovered so far anyways. Well, with multiple regexps, this isn't an issue. A single TB style match is more difficult with this restriction. The only way around it would be to use If..then statements, but the question becomes: which is worse? Running several matches, or processing the matches through a conditional cascade? This might just be the best way to do it. It certainly is the easiest, though you will probably pay in performance if every clock cycle counts. Yeah, but then I'd have to read at least ten posts telling me to Google it. Like I really hadn't thought of that! grin sigh That's why we need TBPHP, TBEverything_Under_The_Sun. You'd be willing to moderate a few more lists, right? ;-) -- Thanks for writing, Januk Aggarwal http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Re: Text parsing: RegEx, filters, maybe third party software?
Hello Peter,
On Tuesday, November 11, 2003 at 22:22 GMT +0100, authorities charged
Peter Fjelsten [PF] for writing:
PF I works better now.
I'm glad you're working better, but what about the regexps?! ;-)
(Sorry, I tried to resist, really...)
PF I'm in greater trouble concerning the FRAGTMOMSFRI or
PF FRAGTMOMSPLIGTIGT. This string is also empty.
Hmm, this isn't good. I don't see the error. Can you please give me
again the exact strings that *could* be in the message? Maybe I'm
looking for a space that doesn't exist or something...
PF I have wrapped this for readability reasons:
We can use the PCRE extended mode if you really want to make it much
more readable. You have to be careful where you place the
closing quotes if you use comments. Also, remember that in extended
mode, whitespace in the expression is ignored. For example, the
regexp you quoted could be written:
%SetPattRegexp=(?imx-s)
^(Billing\sAddress|Fakturaadresse)[^\n]*?\n # Billing address label
-{50,}\s*?\n # Separator line
(.*?)\s*?\n # Name
((.*?)\s*?\n)?# Address line 1 (optional)
((.*?)\s*?\n)?# Address line 2 (optional)
((.*?)\s*?\n)?# Address line 3 (optional)
((\D{1,2}.\d{3,6})|\d{3,6})\s # Postal Code
(.*?)\s*\n# City
\s*(.*?)\s*?\n# Country
PF This last line is for the post code, right?
I imagine it is much more obvious with the expression above...
PF I guess the missing string stems from the problem with spaces in
PF the possibilities, right?
Yes, probably. Hmm, ok well you can try replacing the postal code and
city lines above with:
((\D{1,2}-)?\d{2,4}(\s\d{2,3}))\s # Postal Code
\s*?(\D.*)\s*?\n # City
The subpattern of the City and Country both increase by 1, ie they are
in subpatterns 12 and 13 respectively.
J %RegexpBlindMatch=%Text%-
PF What does this line do? Does it say where to extract the result from?
Yes, and it runs the expression so the subpatterns get filled with
their results. Because we did a blind match, nothing is returned
unless we explicitly call a %Subpatt macro.
PF This is wrong. Although the string DK moms/VAT: is present the pure
PF number is returned and it is set to FRAGTMOMSFRI (without *0,8)
Ok, obviously the %IF condition isn't being met. The following regexp
should return the DK moms/VAT string if it is present:
%RegexpText=(?im-s)^Total:.*\n\s*?(Moms|DK\smoms\/VAT)\n\n
That's what we're using to make the choice of output. Maybe we should
add a \s* (without quotes) immediately before the closing \n\n pair.
J Subpatterns are simply parts of the regexp surrounded by round
J brackets. Counting them is also very easy, just count the number of
J opening brackets.
PF ... and they are numbered sequentially?
Yes.
PF Any hint as to recursive element for the goods which are each instance
PF is preceded by varer?

than what you need.
Your main regexp would probably something like:
%SetPattRegexp=(?isx-m) # Option setting- Subpattern
^\s*(\d+)\s* # Quantity - 1
x\s* # Times
(.*?)\s* # Item description - 2
\((.*?)\)\s* # Item model name - 3

Insertion and Deletion shortcuts
Hi, I find myself finally wanting to change the shortcuts for the insertion and deletion commands. I haven't found them (though apparently my vision isn't what it once was) in the shortcut editor. Does anyone know if it can be done and how? Ideally I would just add my shortcuts to the current possibilities. The reasons should be obvious from the list below. In case anyone is wondering, I basically want some EMACS/Pico shortcuts: Command Current Shortcut Mine Delete to the end of line Ctrl+Q Y Ctrl-K Delete character to the leftBackspace Ctrl-H Delete character to the right Del Ctrl-D To the start of the row Home Ctrl-A To the end of the row End Ctrl-E SOT: Actually, these shortcuts would be useful enough to me in other programs too that I'd almost be willing to install a third party program if it could do the job.

Peter Fjelsten [PF] to inscribe:

PF As I don't really understand how you make sub-patterns and variables
PF it's a bit hard for me to change your code.
Subpatterns are simply parts of the regexp surrounded by round
brackets. Counting them is also very easy, just count the number of
opening brackets. Sometimes subpatterns are created so you can apply
a repeat operator (*,+,{x,y},?) to a string rather than a character.
Sometimes brackets and therefore the subpatterns are designed *only*
to capture a specific part of the string, but they play no role in the
actual matching. There are more uses, but those two are the main
ones.
Variables are also not too bad. Any macro that starts with %_ is a
variable. You don't have to declare a new variable, so you can just
start using them. Just remember that they have global scope, so if
you have complex, nested templates, you need to give them unique names
unless you want to share data between templates.
PF You use completely different (and probably much better) RegExp
PF then me but it's at a different level then me which makes it hard
PF to understand.
I actually used a fair bit of what you wrote, just combined it and
cleaned some of it up a bit. But you had done quite a bit of the
logic. So hang in there, look for things that look similar to yours
and go from there.

I'm very confused why SB and TB would manifest such a bug in different ways. I'll try re-writing the template for V2 at some point. I just have to find time to squeeze it into my schedule. * For anyone who is interested, the bug seems to occur when you have a greedy modifier between two ungreedy modifiers. If the strings being matched can overlap, then the last modifier wins, not the greedy modifier. For example, suppose I have the string: xxxyyyzzz123123123xxxyyyzzz And the regexp: ^(.*)(\d*?)(.*)$ Or: ^(.*?)(\d*)(.*?)$ In the first case, the entire string is where it should be, in subpattern 1. In the second case, logic suggests that the *preferred* match is with xxxyyyzzz in subpatterns 1 and 3 and 123123123 in subpattern 2. But what you get if you run it is that the entire string ends up in subpattern 3.

Now highlight one of the JA prefixes in my quote above, then drag down. You will see a rectangle of text selected, just the JA prefixes should be selected. Now you can delete, insert, or whatever, just like you can with normal highlighting. You have to be a bit careful when pasting just because it doesn't behave exactly the way normal stream mode does.

Re: E-Mail Analysis, and some regex
Hello Jonathan, As the 14:21 GMT -0500 on Wednesday, October 1, 2003 deadline loomed, Jonathan Angliss [JA] madly pounded out: JA Now for a slight alteration. Some of the reports are coming in with: JA The message WAS NOT delivered to: JA [email]: JA I assume this will require an extension to the query, Not really. It depends on what information you want. If you want to extract the WILL BE vs. WAS NOT, then we need to do a tiny bit of work. If we don't care about that, then we can probably afford to shortcut the problem. As you noticed: JA as I tried a simple (WILL BE|WAS NOT), and of course, it returns JA the WAS NOT part as the email address. The only problem with this solution is that you changed subpattern 1 to some text we don't care about. The problem is that we're using a shortcut with the %RegexpText. You can keep this regexp, but then we need to change the %Regexptext macro to 3 macros. That is the better solution if you think you might want to extract the delivery status at some point. However, if you know that you won't want any other info, then the easiest is to simply replace the words WILL BE to .*? (no quotes). That just means any text will be matched at that point and not put into a subpattern. It would look like: %_Email='%- %RegexpText=(?im-s)^\s*The message.*?delivered to:\s*\n\s*(.*?)'%- Note I've also changed the subpatterning to remove the angular brackets as per your other message. See that reply for details. JA Would it be easier to add in an %IF statement? You could do that, but it is probably overkill. These relatively simple regexps have more than enough flexibility to do what you want. -- Thanks for writing, Januk Aggarwal http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hello Jonathan, On Wednesday, October 1, 2003 at 12:33 GMT -0500, aliens probed Jonathan Angliss [JA] and found: JA These work great... Now I'll see if I can work out how to ignore the JA in the email addresses too now. Just move the regular round brackets to surround the section you want to capture. I put them outside the angular brackets, but you can easily move them inside the angular brackets. In this case we aren't using any repetition modifiers on the subpattern, so the subpatterning is completely arbitrary. See my reply to your other message for the modified regexp. %_Tab=%Put='path\tabfile.txt'%- JA I tried cheating on this one, and copying a tab character from notepad JA into the editor, but it replaced it with a space, so I ended up having JA to go with this option. I figured that was the only way. I suppose someone could write a plugin macro that would let you insert any character. But I'm not sure I'd want to install a DLL just for that. JA It does work great... in fact, perfectly... I adjusted the last line JA to have a %- on it as it resulted in extra line spaces in the file JA (might be bad cp). JA Great work... thanks... Excellent. I'm glad it works. JA now can I borrow your brain for a couple of weeks? ;) Only if I can have Brain 2.0 installed in the interim.

Before the modification to the main template, it also added a newline, giving you two new lines. In otherwords, you see a blank line. Your solution was to get rid of the newlines added by the main template.

Amazing. ;-)
Just curiosity, how would you modify 'print_recipient'? Or perhaps you
mean modifying 'Recipient list'?
The relatively easy modification is in print_recipient. It would be possible
to add a %IF statement to the Recipient List template to control that last new-
line. It is straightforward, but it needs a couple of lines instead of a
couple of characters.
To get rid of the new line through the print_recipient template, just add the
three characters \s* (without quotes) immediately before the \Z in the
regexp. In other words, make the line look like:
%SetPattRegexp=^(?s)\s{%_RL_Num_Space}(.*?)\s*\Z%-
Note, I really made two changes. I also made the any character match (.*)
ungreedy so that it doesn't compete with the whitespace character (\s*) match.

M Where I have just changed %COMMENT=%OTOLIST; to %COMMENT=%OTOLIST

M semicolon and space), what I get is this:
You should change this back. If your templates are feeding the right
format information to the Recipient List template, then your
modification risks not printing the last name/address combination.
M That is, I get 2 blank lines after each list instead of 3. But I would
M obviously like to get rid of those blank lines too and I don't know how.
That doesn't make much sense. I don't see in your templates where
this 2 line versus 3 line thing could be happening. It looks like
somehow you're adding two semicolons somehow, but I don't see how.
Make the modifications above and if you're still having trouble. If

Re: Not _
Hello Mark,

were informed that Mark Partous [MP] leaked:
MP Is there an easy way to exclude the underscore character from the rule,
JA Use two inverses:
JA [^\W_]{40,}
MP Still one problem: how do I include this kind of character:
MP é'(§è!çà à )-
Sorry, I'm not entirely sure which of those you want included.
However, the idea is fairly simple, so let's go through the logic at
least so you can play around and get the expression which will work
for you.
1. [^\W_] - what we did is use the fact that in regexps you can define
character classes. Those are simple OR statements for
each character included. In this case \W OR _ are
matched. But then we negated that, so anything EXCEPT \W
OR _ is matched.
2. Now we want to match some specific characters which were EXCLUDED
because they are matched by \W. So you need to do some type of OR
statement. But we have to do a more complicated OR statement than
simple characters because we want to have the statement above OR'ed
with our next character class.
So the easiest thing to do is have an expression like:
([^\W_]|[-é'(§è!çà à )]){40,}
This probably won't work quite as written. You may need to escape
some of the special characters for either the filter engine's sake, or
for the regexp engine's sake. Note that I put the dash at the
beginning of the character class because it has special meaning if it
is anyplace else.
MP BTW: _very_ late answer to your reply! :-)
Not everything needs to have urgent priority. :-)

Don't forget, not everyone knows how to read a regexp. Trying to figure out what information is available for the user is very non-trivial. Plus by putting the output of the subpatterns into variables, it allows for more complex uses and for easier updates if the regexp needs to be modified. You want an example with the wrap2 template?

Re: adding blank lines when wrapping quotes? and merging quicktemplates?
Hello Domagoj, On Monday, June 16, 2003 at 14:37 GMT +0200, electricians were shocked that Domagoj Klepac [DK] potentially scribbled: DK If (there's a capital letter at the start of a new line) AND (the DK previous line ends before wrapcolumn minus length of first word DK in the new line) DKinsert new line DK else if (there's two or more spaces or tab in the start of a new DK line) A quibble with this condition: what if all the text is indented, like: This is some test text. It really doesn't matter what I type here, just so long as I have a few lines. After all, this is just a demo of an indented paragraph. DKinsert new line DK else DKdo nothing DK end if snip DK But I don't think this can be done in TB!. :( :) Well, it can be done, but it would be a *lot* of work, especially in the release version.

Hello Charlie,

CL 1. If anyone could modify ReWrap to do this for me, i'd be very grateful.
CL I would guess that that detecting a long string of blanks would be the
CL best trigger to somehow make it skip a line?
You can try something like:

It is modified to require 5 or more spaces and a new-line as the
delimiter for paragraphs.

I can't exactly try this template because of changes in the current

by a newline character as the delimiter between paragraphs.

CL i'd also like my replies to first execute Marck's Quote Extraction on

You need a driver template for wrap2 anyway, so you can specify what
you feed it. Try something like:

Don't get me wrong. What Bill and Peter told you is quite correct. I made a *very* simplistic engine based on your statement that the paragraphs always end with a bunch of white space characters and a new line. Mine was by no means a general solution. I also would not have been able to test the text you pasted in because TB will strip trailing spaces.

That shouldn't be happening, you should have one blank line between

This is still untested, but only the middle regexp was changed. I
merely added a pair of parentheses to capture the blank lines in
their own subpattern.
I'll break down one of these regexps since all three are the same,
except maybe for some subpattern capturing. This won't be my most
stellar explanation, but it might give you a reasonable start.
(?is-m) - Option setting
- Ignore case (not necessary), dot all, not multiline
^- Match beginning (not of any line because of multiline
being unset above)
(.*?)- Match the minimum number of any character that allows
the rest of the expression to match and store it in
subpattern 1
Note the rest of the pattern is captured in subpattern 2, so I'll
break it down a bit differently. Since the critical part of this
regexp is simply detecting blank lines, let's focus on that
part. Note, this section is now captured in subpattern 3 so it
can be extracted.
((\n - Start subpatterns 2 3 and require a newline character
((( - Start subpatterns 4, 5 and 6 respectively (needed for
repeat operators)
\w{0,5} - Look for upto 5 alphanumeric characters starting the
line (for initials or name quoting).
(\\s*)+- Look for one or more quote characters . They can be
separated by as much or as little white space as
needed. The quote character whitespace deal are in
subpattern 7 simply for the repeat operator.
)? - Close subpattern 6 and allow 0 or 1 instances of this
entire subpattern. This is because a blank line
could be truly blank, or it could have been quoted by
the mail client.
\s*\n) - Get as much whitespace as necessary and require a
newline. This ensures that we do have at least one
blank line between the first paragraph and the
second. Capture this blank line in subpattern 5.
)+) - Close subpattern 4 (which seems to be the same as
5...I don't remember why I did that...) and look for
one or more instances of these blank lines. All of
this is captured in 3. So all the blank lines are in
subpattern 3. Note the end of line for the end of the
first paragraph is also in this subpattern.
Now for the cleanup:
(.*)\s*$- Capture the rest of the paragraphs in subpattern 8
|\z)- Or look for the end of the text instead of all the
newline junk. Necessary if you are processing the last
paragraph, which might not be terminated with a blank
line. Close subpattern 2.

Do you mean that the paragraphs are only separated by one blank line

Back to the last part of the main expression: (.*) - Find the maximum number of any characters that will allow the rest of the pattern to work and store them in subpattern 6.

You could do it with an external script run from your filters, but this method gets annoying to update when you change your folder hierarchy in TB or in Windows.

This filter should also delete the original, or move it to a temp folder. The script itself can alter the message any way you please, but then it should run TB with the /Import command-line option. I'll let you figure out the exact switches since they are well documented in the help file. * That's not strictly true.

Re: RegEx Template Help: Pruning/Deleting Duplicate Newlines
Hello Mike,
On Wednesday, February 19, 2003 at 5:23 PM, resistance was high, but
Mike Dillinger [MD] made current:
MD I'm trying to make a regex template to get rid of duplicate newlines.
Can you be more specific? Perhaps an example would help. I don't
really understand where these new lines exist, and how many are you
trying to remove? What is your final goal? Maybe there is an easier or
at least preexisting solution.
MD Can anyone help me out? I may not even be close. Right now, it's not
MD doing anything.
You need to have capturing subpatterns for the text before and after
the region you want to remove. In your example, adding (.*?)
(without quotes) and anchors (eg: ^ or $) before and after your pattern
would do the trick. Of course, you haven't really specified what part
of the duplication you're trying to remove. Right now, since you have
\n{2}, my suggestion above runs the risk of only deleting a single
blank line between paragraphs. Is that what you want, or do you want
to delete all but one blank line between paragraphs?
Of course, everything I've said to this point will only work for *one*
deletion. If you want to remove multiple instances, you'd need to
make your template quite long (each section needs it's own
subpattern), or use a recursive template scheme.
If I understand your objective, your best bet is to modify my wrap2
recursive template (see below for URL). If you remove the %WRAPPED
from my engine, it will isolate paragraphs and allow you to control
how they are separated.
The URL is:
http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/Library.html#rewrap
Though, while testing, you'd probably want to use a driver template
more like Allie's:
http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/Library.html#rewrap+clipboard+content
I understand these recursive templates may look complex, so if you
give us some more info, I'd be happy to help you modify them
appropriately.

Re: RegEx Template Help: Pruning/Deleting Duplicate Newlines
Hello Mike,
On Wednesday, February 19, 2003 at 9:13 PM, Mike Dillinger [MD]
pressed random keys until the following was produced:
MD I basically want to remove multiple blank/newlines from an email.
Ok, but you are aware that this solution will only work when you
*reply* to such a message, right? There's nothing (internal) that we
can do for viewing these messages right now.
MD I'd like to get rid of all of the unnecessary newlines and just have one
MD newline between each section, like so:
That's what I thought. In this case, do as I suggested and use the
wrap2 recursive engine. You could use the form in the repository if
you want to wrap the other person's text. If you want to preserve the
rest of the formatting, you would change the wrap2 template to look
like:
=[Begin wrap2]=
%IF:'%-
%SETPATTREGEXP=(?is-m)[^\n]+%-
%REGEXPMATCH=%COMMENT''':'%-
%-
%SETPATTREGEXP=(?is-m)^(.*?)(\n(((\w{0,5}(\\s*)+)?\s*\n))+(.*)\s*$|\z)%-
%-%-%-%-%-%REGEXPBLINDMATCH=%COMMENT%-
%-%-%-%-%-%SUBPATT=1
%COMMENT=_%SETPATTREGEXP=(?is-m)^(.*?)(\n(((\w{0,5}(\\s*)+)?\s*\n))+(.*)\s*$|\z)%-
%-%-%-%-%-%REGEXPBLINDMATCH=%COMMENT%-
%-%-%-%-%-%SUBPATT=7_%-
%QINCLUDE=wrap2'
=[ End wrap2]=
Again, you need a driver template to run this one. This one just
takes whatever is in the comment field, takes one paragraph at a time
from there and outputs it plus a blank line (thereby eliminating the
excess blank lines).
The driver template needs the following form:
%COMMENT=raw text%-
%QINCLUDE=wrap2%-
%COMMENT=
The last line is just to cleanup loose ends. Good luck!

Hi Marck, On Wednesday, January 1, 2003 at 17:05 GMT +, a stampede was started when Marck Pearlstone [MP] hollered: MP (.*?) A recorded pattern consisting of any character (the MPtarget for the extraction. Final '?' means may or may MPnot be present. A minor fix on this excellent breakdown. The final ? in the bit above makes the * repeat operator ungreedy. For anyone who doesn't know, without the ?, .* will match as much as it possibly can and still have the rest of the expression work. By making it ungreedy, .*? will match the least it can and have the rest of the expression work. An example: =[Begin Sample Text]= This is the first quote This is a second quote =[ End Sample Text]= Now suppose I want to extract the contents of the first quote above. I might use an expression like: %RegexpText='\.*\' But this would match: =[Begin Output 1]= This is the first quote This is a second quote =[ End Output 1]= With the ungreedy option, the expression becomes: %RegexpText='\.*?\' Now the output is: =[Begin Output 2]= This is the first quote =[ End Output 2]= If you run the above macros on this message, the results will be slightly different in the first case. It's a good illustration of the difference between greedy and ungreedy. -- Thanks for writing, Januk Aggarwal Ok, who is General Relativity, and what did he do with Sir Newton?

Re: macro to change from: field dynamically to original messages to:field

If you use this template when replying to a message where you are not the first recipient listed, your reply might look like it came from someone else. This is easy to fix with a bit of regular expression trickery, though the exact solution could depend on how your mail servers are setup. Probably the easiest is something like: %From='Victor B.

Your best bet may be to use some sort of external counting program to generate a text file with the info so you can use %PUT in your template.

Re: Automatic time zone change in the spring and fall
Hi Daniel You wrote: I think that if we calculate/read the message's GMT hour, we can only be off by 0 hours, + 24 hours, or -24 hours, because GMT is GMT no matter which side of the International Date Line the message was sent from. That is correct, but determining which is the case without knowing your local offset is not trivial in TB. I have to think about how to implement this, but the best way seems to be to look at the relative day of week. If my day is the same as the correspondent, no problem. If my day is behind the correspondent, my offset is 24 hours too high. If my day is ahead of the correspondent, my offset is 24 hours too low. I infer that there are only twelve (a very finite number) of possible offsets: Yes, but it is actually easier than you have listed. The whole point is that this template system should be able to handle the job on its own, with no prior knowledge about your timezone. That's where things get tricky. Windows knows (or has calculated) whether to keep Daylight or Standard Time. Can Window's brain be picked? I've tried to access this through scripts, and it doesn't appear to be easy. Unless Windows stores the information in a plain text file (INI or something), you would need to create some sort of script that would update a file that TB can access once a day or so. This isn't ideal in general. If Windows does keep the information in some common INI file, then we're in business. Pulling out the information would be almost trivial with an appropriate regexp. Unfortunately I don't have time these days to dig through my Windows configuration files. If someone knows where this info is stored, your help would be much appreciated.

Hi Daniel, You wrote: I decided to test TZOffset, by QINCLUDEing TZOffset in my original reply template instead of QINCLUDEing TZSelect there. Sure enough, TZOffset yielded -29.

Since midnight is 00 hours, 1 AM is 01 hours, ..., TZOffset yields a difference that's off by 24 hours, during the time when GMT day is ahead of Eastern (Standard/Daylight) Time. As a result, there are four (NOT two) possible differences that TZOffset can yield: You forgot a case. See below. Fortunately for me, TZSelect was just an IF, THEN, ELSE statement in disguise grin, Yes, but your template needs a slight modification: =[Begin TZSelect QT]= %IF:%QInclude='TZOffset'=-5:EST%- %IF:%QInclude='TZOffset'=-4:EDT%- %IF:%QInclude='TZOffset'=-29:EST%- %IF:%QInclude='TZOffset'=-28:EDT%- %IF:%QInclude='TZOffset'=19:EST%- %IF:%QInclude='TZOffset'=20:EDT%- =[End TZSelect QT]= The case you forgot is when you're still on one day, but your correspondent is on the next day.

The moral is, do ***NOT*** use these templates in versions 1.5x and lower. If you really want them, upgrade your TB installation to the latest version. If you do upgrade, you'll also need Carsten's boxquoting templates. They can be found in the TBTECH archive at: http://www.mail-archive.com/tbtech@thebat.dutaint.com/msg01200.html -- Thanks for writing, Januk Aggarwal His nerves. His memory.

Re: wrapped boxquoting
Hello Sudip,

heard voices say:
SP This works except for one problem, please see my examples below:
snip
SP | The empty space increases proportionally with the number of paragraphs
I can't really reproduce the problem. All I get is 1 extra empty
line from wrap2, but that is taken care of by the template I gave you
previously. So I'm not sure where the problem is being introduced in
your template system. I imagine it must be from wrap2, so you could
try the following template. However, I would check first if you
haven't miscopied the wrap2 template I referred to previously.

Hello Chris, On Thursday, July 11, 2002 at 21:34 GMT +0100, Chris Weaven [CW] heard voices say: CW It only seems to work when I write to you, or it could be the fact CW that it's a different date? I'm not sure. There have been so many changes to your template, I can no longer make heads or tails of what you have. Can you please post the parts of your template system which are responsible for including the where I am part. CW I am using the correct template. I've checked a couple of times CW now. Ok, then I really don't know the problem. Please include *all* of the parts of your templates which affect the attribution line. CW The only other thing I wanted to work on was, if they're in the same CW time zone, I wanted it to say in 'our' time zone, rather than in 'your' CW time zone. Ok, but that can be done as part of the streamlining of your current templates. CW Apologies for being thick still, but your help is really CW appreciated No problem. CW and I think once I've got this sorted, I'll be kept quiet for a CW bit!? Why? Won't you want to use your new template system as much as possible? ;-) -- Thanks for writing, Januk Aggarwal If you've ever noticed, the average traffic cone queue stretches for miles, and the poor things often wait for hours without progressing anywhere.

Hello Chris, An archeological dig discovered that on Tuesday, July 2, 2002 at 08:29 GMT +0100, Chris Weaven [CW] typed the following: CW When I press the reply button, no text from your mail is carried CW over. Here is my template; CW On %QINCLUDE=Date %QINCLUDE=Time, which was %ODATE=, %- CW d, at hh:nn where I am, %OFROMFNAME %OFROMLNAME [%QINCLUDE='Initials'] wrote; CW %Quotestyle= %QINCLUDE=QuotesInit Delete this. You already have the %QUOTESTYLE macro in your QuotesInit QT. All you need in your main template is the %QInclude=... part. The technical problem is, you need to use a delimiter around the argument. In other words, it should be: %QuoteStyle='%QINCLUDE=QuotesInit' While it is true that this version allows you to use almost any character as a delimiter, spaces won't usually work simply because spaces at the end of a line will be stripped by the editor. When TB doesn't see that second space, it thinks the rest of your template is part of the argument to %QuoteStyle. In other words, it causes major confusion. CW Also, I like the attribution line because the text was written on CW different days because of the time difference, but if there was no CW time difference, I'd like to line to only show the time for my bit CW rather than the whole day. I'm sure we'll need an if function in CW there somewhere!? Yes. The easiest is to replace the whole %ODATE='...' bit with: %IF:'%QINCLUDE=Time'='%ODATE=hh:nn':'%- %ODATE=hh:nn':'%- %ODATE=, d, at hh:nn%- CW Yup. I carried them all over, but something still seems very wrong I don't follow, what is wrong?

I CW wanted it to show the full date and time if the actual date was CW different rather than the time. Does that make sense?

Hello Chris, An archeological dig discovered that on Monday, July 1, 2002 at 18:27 GMT +0100, Chris Weaven [CW] typed the following: CW On Monday, July 1, 2002 01:28, which was Monday, July 1, 2002 at CW 09:28 where I am, Januk Aggarwal [JA] wrote; snip CW As you can see by the above, I now have your initials present on CW the attribution line. Yippee Congrats. CW But, I seem to have broken everything else :-( I don't really see what is broken. If you mean that you don't have the initials in the quotes, then you can use a QuoteStyle macro like: %QUOTESTYLE='%- %IF:%- %SETPATTREGEXP=(?im-s)^X-Mailer\:.*(Bat!|Becky|Gnus|slrn).*$%- %REGEXPBLINDMATCH=%HEADERS%- %SUBPATT=1:=%QINCLUDE=Initials:None' Just remember to put this somewhere before your %QUOTES macro. CW I copied over the template from your link, where you have a series CW of 3 QT's. Can you give me a hint of how they all link together as CW I had to copy and paste your mail to get this info across! :-( You mean the Initials, Full Name and Full Name - No AB Entry QTs? That's fairly simple. The Initials routine needs a string from which it will extract the initials. That string is generated by the Full Name QT which looks in the address book. If there isn't an address book entry then the Full Name QT calls the Full Name - No AB Entry QT to make sure that the name of the person is returned. If %OFROMNAME macro returns an address, only the part before the '@' is returned. CW I totally agree with you. Although I'm getting frustrated, I get a CW good sense of achievement on completion (should I ever get there!)

Hello Chris, On Sunday, June 30, 2002 at 12:01 GMT +0100, aliens probed Chris Weaven [CW] and found: CW Hi Januk, On %QINCLUDE=Date %QINCLUDE=Time2, which was %ODATE=, %- d, at hh:nn where I am, %OFROMFNAME %OFROMLNAME %QINCLUDE=Qstyle wrote; CW I'd like to add in the initials of the writer after the name, but CW only if their client accepts it.

There are two in current circulation with recent threads in both TBTECH and TBUDL giving reference to them. CW As you can see, I already have it in the reply template, but it CW doesn't seem to work? What you posted was a code fragment that was poorly formatted. If that's the way it was in your template, then it would cause problems.
