Re: Macro variable with current folder name?

The problem is that the folder name contains '=' (as in =INBOX) and for folders also '/' (as in =mutt/). These characters need to be removed or offlineimap, understandably, doesn't understand what folder I'm talking about. This is the end solution (which works for my folder structure, other people might need a different sanitizing function): folder-hook . 'set my_record=$record; \ set record=^; \ macro index,pager G "!offlineimap -o -l /tmp/offlineimap.log -f $(echo $record | sed -e 's/[=\/]//g')\n" \ "Retrieve new IMAP messages for current folder"; \ set record=$my_record' Thanks a lot for your help. -- José María (Chema) Mateos || https://rinzewind.org

When I use the following macro inside the folder-hook (I don't have offlineimap) macro index,pager G "!/bin/echo $record\n"; \ and then press G in my inbox I got | =INBOX.INBOX | Press any key to continue... Just to be sure: You don't have another macro "macro index,pager G ..." behind the folder-hook? Dennis

Also, they're old > responses, and mutt has changed since then. There is a "current mailbox" shortcut '^'. However, this expands only for mailbox variables. You could use $record temporarily for the macro and then set it back to the old value (here with echo to see what ends up in the variable): folder-hook . 'set my_record=$record; \ set record=^; \ macro index,pager G "echo $record"; \ set record=$my_record' Dennis
