%SETPATTREGEXP defines a search pattern using Regular Expressions.

%RegExpBlindMatch="%OSubj" means the text you are searching within is 
the original subject header.

%Subject='Re: %SUBPATT="1"%SUBPATT="2"' means you are writing the 
subject header of the reply as "Re: " followed by two sub-strings that 
were extracted from the original subject header.



"Regular Expressions" (or simply "RegEx", "regex") a way of setting 
patterns of characters to search for in strings. There is quite a lot 
about them in TB!'s help file, most of it impenetrable unless you 
already know what they are talking about. RegEX are not a TB! 
invention: they are also used in PERL and in M$ Visual Basic, for 
example (although there may be differences between the various 
implementations). Marck Pearlstone's website hosts a RegEX tutorial 
written by Gerd Ewald, starting at 
, which includes a link 
to a RegEx tester written by Dirk Heiser.

I have emailed Marck, via the contact form on his website, to give him 
the "heads-up" about this.

Eeek! Looks like my ISP has silently killed my SQL data hosting. I am
trying to track it down. Normal service will be resumed... as soon as
I can get a hold of the data. If they still have it :(

Thanks for the heads up!
