In Mailman, with Python regexps <https://docs.python.org/2/library/re.html>, I would use ^Subject:.*\Wtest\W \W matches any 'non-word' character and is equivalent to [^a-zA-Z0-9_], i.e. anything including new-line which is not a letter, digit or underscore. >>> import re >>> cre = re.compile('^Subject:.*\Wtest\W', re.IGNORECASE) >>> s1 = """Subject: This is a test of mailman.""" >>> s2 = """Subject: This is a test.""" >>> s3 = """Subject: I am testing...""" >>> s4 = """Subject: This is a test ... """ >>> cre.search(s1) <_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x7f740d0abac0> >>> cre.search(s2) <_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x7f740d0abb28> >>> cre.search(s3) >>> cre.search(s4) <_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x7f740d0abac0> -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
