Hello Ulrich,
UP = Ulrich Peters
On Tue, 9 Jan 2001 at 21:47:04 GMT -0200 (which was 3:47 PM where I
live) witnesses say Ulrich Peters typed:
UP> Normally the first message received is generated with a FormMail
UP> script, and I have set up a regex to create a reply with only the
UP> relevant text of the FormMail. This text comes between the strings

UP> <one line>

UP> </one line>
UP> The trouble is that there are normally subsequent messages to be

How about something like:
%QUOTES='%SETPATTREGEXP="(?(?=;;);;(.*)|(.*);;)"%REGEXPBLINDMATCH="%QINCLUDE=""special"";;%TEXT"%SUBPATT="2"
Where you define a Quick Template with handle 'special' that has:
%SETPATTREGEXP="Comment:(.*)Submit(.*)"%RegExpBlindMatch="%TEXT"%SubPatt="1"
This might run into problems if there is ';;' in any of the
messages. There are probably better options:
UP> My problem is how to activate the regex and extract only part of the
UP> message IF it comes from the FormMail, and how to make the quotes work
UP> normally when the message does NOT come from the FormMail - using one
UP> single message folder and same reply template for everything. I
UP> couldn't figure it out.
Is there any string or address or something that uniquely identifies
the FormMail messages or headers? If there are, then you could create
a couple of Quick Templates, and based on the existence of the unique
identifier, call the appropriate Quick Template. But I need more
information before I get specific.
UP> Another thing I would like to know is how to eliminate empty lines
UP> completely in the quoted text... with the same regex hopefully...?
That's beyond the capability of regexps. You want text editing
capabilities. Regexps are used for retrieving information from text.
There is a difference.
