Hello Lars,
An archeological dig discovered that on Tuesday, October 23, 2001 at
17:21 GMT +0200, Lars Geiger [LG] typed the following:
LG> Try the following as QT 'bracket':
LG> bracket:
LG>
%SETPATREGEXP="(?i)^(\s*?\[.*\])?(\s*?(re|ha|rcpt|fwd)(\[\d*\])?\:\s*?)*(.*))"%-
LG> %RegExpBlindMatch="%OSubj"%SubPatt="5"
LG> I made all the * ungreedy, changed that %RegExpBlindMatch part as stated
LG> above and it seems to work now.
The only problem with this version is when you get a subject line
like:
[TBUDL] Re: Regexp Question (was: [TBUDL] Re[5]: Where is the off switch?)
The problem is that between the first '[' and the last ']' is the
subject of interest. But with your regexp, that's what you eliminate.
A better expression would be:
'%SETPATTREGEXP="^((re|ha|rcpt|fwd)(\[\d*\])?\:\s*|\[.*?\]\:?\s*)*(.*)$"%-
%REGEXPBLINDMATCH="%OFullSubj"%-
%SUBPATT="5"'
LG> Not sure what exactly was wrong, though.
His problem was how he had applied the %REGEXPBLINDMATCH macro. From
Jan's mail:
JR>%RegExpBlindMatch="='%OSubj'"
^^^^^^^^^
The text being matched is:
='[tinyfirewall] Re: TPF v2.0.15 - 100% newbie question'
Now look at his (and your) regexps. The first thing you look for is
the "[tinyfirewall]", but the string doesn't start with that. It
starts with "='"
To get the output Jan wants, you have to put the single quotes around
the entire regexp, or at least around the %subpatt macro.
LG> Perhaps someone can lighten me up here? (Januk?) ;-)
<sigh> There are people on this list that know more about regexps
than I do. No need to single me out.

If you've ever noticed, the average traffic cone queue stretches for
miles, and the poor things often wait for hours without progressing
anywhere. Traffic cones have rights, just like people.
