Hi Nigel.
You could post to the (very active) procmail mailing list.
I did some procmail stuff years ago and my experience with the help on that list was very
good!

Hi
I'm struggling with procmail - as a complete newbie I should add.
Basically the pseudo code for what I want is as follows:
extract string from header.
if length($string) < 6
pad $string left spaces to 6;
if test -d $string
file the email into the folder $string
else
forward to bad_folders alias;
What I have so far is:
:0
* ^X-My-Header:[ \t]*\/$
{
STRING=${MATCH}
:0
* ? test ! -d $MATCH
{
! bad_folder
}
$MATCH
}
I've managed to fudge my way so far with lot's of help from the Search
Engine Gods, but I'm stuck on the "pad" problem. I know I could write
this as a shell script or a perl snippet and then pipe the value of the
variable out to it but how do I get it back in again (or alternatively
how do I do it within procmail?
TIA
Nigel
