[nmh-workers] Flagging messages
My apologies for taking so long to respond. It was not intentional but one thing led to another and before I knew it more than a week had gone by. I’d like to thank all who responded, either directly to me or to the list. In the end, I’ve decided not to accomplish this through nmh but rather use Diane Skoll’s remind program. I think it sums my needs better in the long run. Reading through the archives it becomes clear that the people here know more than I ever will. To use an old cliche; most of you have forgotten more than I’ll ever know. That said, again I appreciate the time people took to respond either directly to me or to the list/ -- nmh-workers https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
Re: [nmh-workers] Stupid 'pick' question...
But more often I just use grep or agrep by cd-ing to the right folder: cd ~/Mail/ pick + -from -and -subj ... -seq foo pick foo | xargs agrep -li 'this;that' | xargs scan -- nmh-workers https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers

So much for this from the manpage: man pick to see why. -subject '^foo' is equivalent to -search "subject[ \t]*:.*^foo' which won't match anything. > Oddly enough, $ for tail-anchor seems to work: This makes sense since -subj 'foo$' is is -search "subject[ \t]*:.*foo$' You can directly use search as follows: -search 'Subject[ \t]:[ \t]*\[PATCH [45]\.[0-9]' -- nmh-workers https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
[nmh-workers] Stupid 'pick' question...
So trying to work with the linux-kernel mailing list firehose (800-1500 messages a day), and hitting a problem with 'pick'. Am trying to match all messages from a given person with a given part of a subject line. pick -from -subject '\[PATCH [45]\.[0-9]' *almost* does what I want - catch all messages that have '[PATCH 4.9]' or '[PATCH 4.14]' or '[PATCH 5.0]'. However, it *also* catches messages of the form 'Subject: Re: [PATCH ' which is unacceptable for the use case in question. So I tried an anchored search using -subject '^\[PATCH [45]\.[0-9]' but that results in nothing matching. So much for this from the manpage: A modified grep(1) is used to perform the matching, so the full regular expression (see ed(1)) facility is available within pattern. With -search, pattern is used directly, and with the others, the grep pattern constructed is: So is ^ to anchor the search in fact unsupported? Broken? I'm using it wrong? Oddly enough, $ for tail-anchor seems to work: 18:56:33 0 [~/Mail/kernel-patches] scan `pick +linux-kernel last:3000 -from gre...@linuxfoundation.org -and -subject 'path' -list` | more 416491 * 17:38 +02 6k Greg Kroah-Hartma [PATCH 4.14 04/69] net: fec: fix the clk mismatch in failed_reset path < [ Upstre 416492 * 17:38 +02 6k Greg Kroah-Hartma [PATCH 4.14 14/69] net: mvneta: Fix err code path of probe < [ Upstre 416502 * 17:39 +02 6k Greg Kroah-Hartma [PATCH 4.14 30/69] USB: sisusbvga: fix oops in error path of sisusb_probe < comm 416537 * 17:38 +02 6k Greg Kroah-Hartma [PATCH 4.19 10/73] USB: sisusbvga: fix oops in error path of sisusb_probe < comm 416689 * 17:38 +02 6k Greg Kroah-Hartma [PATCH 5.1 10/85] USB: sisusbvga: fix oops in error path of sisusb_probe < commi 18:56:52 0 [~/Mail/kernel-patches] scan `pick +linux-kernel last:3000 -from gre...@linuxfoundation.org -and -subject 'path$' -list` | more 416491 * 17:38 +02 6k Greg Kroah-Hartma [PATCH 4.14 04/69] net: fec: fix the clk mismatch in failed_reset path < [ Upstre 18:57:08 0 [~/Mail/kernel-patches] pgpjYVXoVMbUk.pgp Description: PGP signature -- nmh-workers https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
