Re: Writing attachments
Hello all, I have a filter defined that writes attachments to directory blablabla/%OSUBJ if certain messages from certain clients contain attachments. This works, except when %OSUBJ contains symbols that are not allowed in directory names, like : and ' How do I filter these symbols? I'll need to put something around %OSUBJ, but what? Also, I need to make sure the directory names do not become too long, so an instruction to truncate the directory name to say 50 characters would be welcome. I can find the needed directory names also in the mails themselves, but SETPATTREGEXP etc. don't seem to work either. No response at all? Have I finally found something that is just impossible in TheBat!?

Unable to see folders with Manage IMAP Folders
of 4 IMAP accounts I use, two of them will not show the folders when I use the IMAP Folder Manager. wo will They are all with 1and1. They are all IMAP and should have exactly the same settings. They do in fact appear to be set up the same way when I look in Account Settings/Mail Transport What would cause me to not see the imap folders on those two accounts?

I'm probably the last person to attempt to give you an answer but I wonder if it's possible to write a REGEXP (Regular Expression) to do what you want. In other words, write some sort of copy and paste expression which then theoretically shouldn't have any restrictions on character symbols. Unfortunately I have zero experience with REGEXPs and haven't a clue about how to even write one and actually use it.

HTTP links not clickable in html mode, but they are in text mode?

Re: Writing attachments
Hello, Loek
I have a filter defined that writes attachments to directory
blablabla/%OSUBJ if certain messages from certain clients contain
attachments. This works, except when %OSUBJ contains symbols that
are not allowed in directory names, like : and '
How do I filter these symbols? I'll need to put something around
%OSUBJ, but what?
Also, I need to make sure the directory names do not become too
long, so an instruction to truncate the directory name to say 50
characters would be welcome.
I can find the needed directory names also in the mails themselves,
but SETPATTREGEXP etc. don't seem to work either.
Anything else I can do?
Look at this template (version for testing and understanding):
%_TOREPLACE='te'sta':tor::%-
%_illchars=`\\\:\\/\\\|\'`%-
%SETPATTREGEXP=(?ms)^([^%_illchars]*)([%_illchars]*|\z)([^%_illchars]*)([%_illchars]*|\z)([^%_illchars]*)([%_illchars]*|\z)([^%_illchars]*)([%_illchars]*|\z)%-
%REGEXPBLINDMATCH(%_TOREPLACE)%-
%_OUTPUT=%SUBPATT(1)%SUBPATT(3)%SUBPATT(5)%SUBPATT(7)%-
TOREPLACE: %_TOREPLACE
OUTPUT: %_OUTPUT
%_LONGTEXT=1234567890123%-
%_LIMIT=5%-
%SETPATTREGEXP=(?ms)^(.{0,%_LIMIT})%-
%REGEXPBLINDMATCH(%_LONGTEXT)%-
%_SHORTTEXT=%SUBPATT(1)%-
LONGTEXT: %_LONGTEXT
LIMIT: %_LIMIT
SHORTTEXT: %_SHORTTEXT
First Regexp remove 4 illegal characters from %_TOREPLACE (or more, if
those characters are together). If You want to remove more, You'll need
add new ([^%_illchars]*)([%_illchars]*|\z) in %SETPATTREGEXP and
new %SUBPATT(9/11/13...) in %_OUTPUT. You could also use %XMP_StrRepl
from XMP plugin - this is a better version, but You must to install
this plugin
%_TOREPLACE(%OSUBJ)%-
%_TOREPLACE(%XMP_StrRepl(%_TOREPLACE,'',))%-
%_TOREPLACE(%XMP_StrRepl(%_TOREPLACE,'',))%-
%_TOREPLACE(%XMP_StrRepl(%_TOREPLACE,':',))%-
%_TOREPLACE(%XMP_StrRepl(%_TOREPLACE,'',))%-
%_TOREPLACE(%XMP_StrRepl(%_TOREPLACE,'/',))%-
%_TOREPLACE(%XMP_StrRepl(%_TOREPLACE,'\',))%-
%_TOREPLACE(%XMP_StrRepl(%_TOREPLACE,'|',))%-
%_TOREPLACE(%XMP_StrRepl(%_TOREPLACE,',))%-
Done: %_TOREPLACE%-
In the second half of template is a regexp to limit the length of
output (based on variable %_LIMIT).
Now all You must to do is to create a quick template with handle - for
example - 'spsubj' and with this content:
%_TOREPLACE=%OSUBJ%-
%_illchars=`\\\:\\/\\\|\'`%-
%SETPATTREGEXP=(?ms)^([^%_illchars]*)([%_illchars]*|\z)([^%_illchars]*)([%_illchars]*|\z)([^%_illchars]*)([%_illchars]*|\z)([^%_illchars]*)([%_illchars]*|\z)%-
%REGEXPBLINDMATCH(%_TOREPLACE)%-
%_OUTPUT=%SUBPATT(1)%SUBPATT(3)%SUBPATT(5)%SUBPATT(7)%-
%_LIMIT=40%-
%SETPATTREGEXP=(?ms)^(.{0,%_LIMIT})%-
%REGEXPBLINDMATCH(%_OUTPUT)%-
%SUBPATT(1)%-
This template will remove illegal characters from %OSUBJ (if not all
of them, then add more parenthesis to regexp, as I described above, or
use XMP) and will truncate a length of %OSUBJ to 40 characters. Now
all You must to do is to add %QINCLUDE(spsubj) to path in Extract
Attachments action in filter, from blablabla/%OSUBJ to
blablabla/%QINCLUDE(spsubj).

Hallo Chris, On Mon, 11 Nov 2013 15:35:04 +GMT (11-11-2013, 16:35 , where I live), you wrote: CW If I write an e-mail with say http://www.gatesgarth.com in a message CW it is not clickable when posted, if I am viewing in html mode, but if I CW change to text mode it is. CW Why is that please, That's because of the way that HTML is defined. In order to have something clickable, it needs to have tags around it that are parsed by the message viewer. You as the recipient won't see those tags, you'll onbly see that they're clickable. A text doesn't have to be an address to be clickable, the tags around it have to refer to an address. This message is composed in HTML, so I can show some examples: click here this doesn't show an address, but it does point to one google.com this points to the shown address www.chriswilson.tv this points to a different address than it shows, a technique that's often used in fishing mails http://www.gatesgarth.com this does shouldn't point to anything CW and can i change something? Thanks. Nope. The HTML-viewer works as intended. That the text viewer shows addresses as clickable is a feature and I don't think you can disable it. -- Groetjes, Roelof A moderator of Taglines. http://www.voormijalleen.nl/ The Bat! 6.0.0.25 (BETA) Windows 7 6.1 Build 7601 Service Pack 1 5 pop3 accounts, 2 imap accounts OTFE disabled i7-2600 3.4GHz 4 GB RAM Current version is 5.2.2 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Unfortunately I have zero experience with REGEXPs and haven't a clue about how to even write one and actually use it. I agree it looks like the sort of thing Regular Expressions can do: match any symbol from a class or list so that it can be deleted or replaced, and match any character that is preceded by a 50-character string so that it can be deleted. I'm no use here: my sole experience of Regular Expressions was to very slightly modify an Excel macro I found on the internet, when I needed to remove non-alphanumeric characters from a spreadsheet cell's contents to use in a mail merge document - the matching used regular expressions. (Anything matched by this pattern [^A-Z,^a-z,^0-9,^,^(,^)] gets replaced by an empty string.) Try TB!' help file - it actually contains quite a bit of verbiage on RegExp, most of which I struggle to understand. Also, some of the examples at [1] and [2] may give some food for thought regarding what to actually do with your regular expression when you have the pattern matching sussed out.
