(?m) gives you multi-line, so ^ and $ refer to the beginning and end of lines. Without it, they refer to the beginning and end of the whole text (in this case %Headers). Note, your original doesn't rely on this option - my modification does. (?-s) restricts '.' to not include newline characters - so your (.*) only extends to the end of the line. This is required here. For more detail see "Internal Option Setting" under Regex. > as I'm not used to RegExps, I would like to ask you to give me > comments about what's wrong or could be done simplier. The Date field starts must start a line, so replace 'Date' with '^Date'. The ':' is not special, so replace '\:' with ':' - not a required change - just looks better. The Date: field must be followed by white space, so replace '\s*' with '\s+'. You introduce 2 newlines, where only one is likely desirable. Replace '"%Headers"' with '%Headers"%-' Combining the above, I'd write: %SetPattRegExp="(?m-s)^Date:\s+(.*)"%RegExpBlindMatch="%Headers"%- on %SubPatt="1" you wrote: Note that for mailing list replies, it's best not to use 'you'. -- Best regards, Bill ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62r | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
