Title: SA-Learn and Windows long file names

Ok, I stepped trough the sa-learn code with a debugger and discovered that my e-mail files are getting “grepped” out.  Unfortunately, I’m not very good at regular expressions yet.  Can someone explain please.  The problem is in the scan_directory method of  ArchiveIterator.pm.  The grep is apparently trying to filter out some files, but it’s actually filtering out all my mail.   It seems to having something to do with a NON “.” or “,”  preceding a non-whitespace.  What the heck is that (sorry, I’m a windows person).   # ignore ,234 (deleted or refiled messages) and MH metadata dotfiles    @files = grep { /^[^,.]\S*$/ } readdir(DIR);     These are my file names.  (Please don’t make fun of these crazy characters in the file name.  I have no control.  This is apparently how Active Directory/Exchange Server name the files).  What’s odd is that they encode the asterisk but not the $ or ! or period.   %2A%2A%2A%2ASPAM%2A%2A%2A%2A! $1,500 a Day -  Starting Today !%22 DARE ME%22 scraqwcxnafpsffqm.EML %2A%2A%2A%2ASPAM%2A%2A%2A%2A! $1.10 A DOSE VIAGRA.EML   Anyway,  any insight on why this grep is there would be appreciated.   Thanks, Mark DeMichele       From: Mark A.
