To reply with
Re: Whatever
where Whatever is the original subject. AND to eliminate the first
instance of Part_Of_It from Whatever:
%Subject="Re: %SetPattRegExp='(?i)(?:(.*?)Part_Of_It|(.*))(.*)'%-
%RegExpBlindMatch='%OFullSubj'%SubPatt='1'%SubPatt='2'%SubPatt='3'"%-
Adding a few comments to this:
%Subject="Re: %-
%SetPattRegExp='(?ix) # CaseLess & Extended PCRE
(?: # Non-capturing group
(.*?) # Stuff before Part_Of_It
Part_Of_It # What you want to exclude
|
(.*) # Subjects w/o Part_Of_It
)
(.*) # Stuff after Part_Of_It
'%-
%RegExpBlindMatch='%OFullSubj'%-
%SubPatt='1'%-
%SubPatt='2'%-
%SubPatt='3'"%-
If Part_Of_It is present, the answer will be in '1' and '3' with '2'
empty. If it's not present, the answer is in '2' with '1' and '3'
empty.
NB: If you use the second version, you must enter hard spaces in
Part_Of_It with, say, \x20.
