Package: procmail Version: 3.22-16 Severity: normal hi
I've got troubles recently with how the '\/' token gets into play in a recipe's RE, eg: * ^subject: *\/.+ that should catch everything to the right *after last ' '* after ':' and put it into MATCH, ie that's supposed to be like % sed -r "s/^subject: *(.+)/\1/i" but that seems not the case; here's a test: #--[.prc]--- VERBOSE=yes :0i * ^subject: *\/.+ |echo "$MATCH" >&2 #----------- $ echo -e "To: oo\nFrom: oo\nSubject: 4\n\nx\n."|procmail -m /tmp/.prc procmail: [23282] Tue May 22 22:25:29 2007 procmail: Assigning "MATCH=" procmail: Matched " 4" procmail: Match on "^subject: *\/.+" procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=echo "$MATCH" >&2" Subject: 4 Folder: echo "$MATCH" >&2 34 procmail: Executing "echo "$MATCH" >&2" 4 ie it's like ' *' after ':' was ignored, it acts like 'formail -x subject:'; the expected result would be instead: $ echo -e \ "To: oo\nFrom: oo\nSubject: 4\n\nx\n."|sed -r "s/^subject: *(.+)/\1/i" To: oo From: oo 4 x . manual warns about weird MATCH results for suboptimal/complex RE, but above RE isn't suboptimal nor complex, so this looks like an (undocumented) bug. thanks -- paolo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
