-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Bill,
@31-May-2003, 13:59 -0400 (18:59 UK time) Bill McCarthy [BM] in mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] said: BM> Hello %if:"%ABtoFirstName"=""%- BM> :"%SetPattRegExp='^(.*?)([.@, ]|$)'%- BM> %RegExpBlindMatch='%ToName'%SubPatt='1'"%- BM> :"%ABtoFirstName", BM> All it says is use the first name from the address book, if there is BM> one. ... In case you didn't realized it, there's a simpler way to say that: Hello %ABtoFirstName="%SetPattRegExp='^(.*?)([.@, ]|$)'%- %RegExpBlindMatch='%ToName'%SubPatt='1'", In other words, the AB macros work like this: %ABtoFirstName="Use this if there isn't one" I use this deeper combo myself: %CAPITAL=+%IF:"%ABToLastName"="list":"%TOFNAME":%- "%ABToNamePrefix='%ABToFirstName=#%ABofromFIRSTNAME=.%TOFNAME.#'"+%- %TO=""%TO='"%ABofromCompany=_%ABofromNAME=/%OFROMNAME/_" <%TOADDR>' Which demonstrates how you can actually cascade the overrides. - -- Cheers -- .\\arck D Pearlstone -- List moderator TB! v1.63 Beta/7 on Windows XP 5.1.2600 Service Pack 1 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 6.5.8ckt build 09 beta 3 iQA/AwUBPtj5rznkJKuSnc2gEQL3bgCgoCByVHRolLTKQ45O9BN3x3qqn9AAoI4c S63GFxPSa4kohlO1u+A71zOH =IlDm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62r | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
