Hi Thomas,
Historians believe that on Fri, 19 Jan 2001 at 01:19:03 GMT +0800,
Thomas [TF] typed:
JA>> You've got the logic, but ^ anchors the search to the beginning of a
JA>> line.
TF> Why is this wrong? The string "X-Mailer" is at the beginning of the

Well, the beginning of the line is before "X-Mailer", so when
searching for the beginning of the line, the anchor must come before
the string. ie "^X-Mailer"
>From the help file [HF]:
HF> When PCRE_MULTILINE it is set, the "start of line" [...]
HF> constructs match immediately following [...] any newline in the

TF> Should be '*.' "Reapeat any character"
You're thinking too much the way humans think. Think the way shampoo
manufacturers think, "Lather, Rinse, Repeat."
>From the help file [HF]

HF> Quantifier Matches Example Matches Doesn't Match

Notice the example
TF> %SETPATTREGEXP="(?m-s)X-Mailer\:\s?(^*.)"%REGEXPMATCH="%HEADERS"
TF> Return:
TF> *** Error: nothing to repeat ***
Yup, you used the wrong syntax. I don't want to give away the answer,
especially since you asked me to avoid doing so.
TF> I then took out the '^' but got the same result. :-(
You're on the right track. Hopefully this will give you some ideas.
