hi Robert, one way to address this problem would be to use aliases connected to a single context. Any context can have multiple names which all refer to the same internal data structure. If the context is deleted, all names disappear, but if just one alias is removed, other names stay intact. The following ruleset illustrates this idea: type=single ptype=regexp pattern=create (\S+) desc=create context $1 action=create CONTEXT; alias CONTEXT $1 type=single ptype=regexp pattern=delete (\S+) desc=delete context $1 action=unalias $1 type=calendar time=0 0 * * * desc=delete context action=delete CONTEXT The first rule creates the context CONTEXT (if it already exists, its creation timestamp will be updated and event store is emptied, but alias list does not change). After that, a new alias name is created with 'alias CONTEXT $1'. The second rule removed a given alias name, while the final calendar rule deletes CONTEXT with all aliases each midnight. Unfortunately, currently there is no way to do generic regular expression matching against context names. But I am planning to add a loop action to the next sec release, and if there would also be an action 'findcont %o regexp', that would allow for creating repeated actions over data in variable %o. kind regards, risto > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Everyone hates slow websites.
