The macro works for me with the TBUDL/TBBETA lists and elsewhere so I strongly suspect that it's a problem with the macro's syntax when you're using it. Are you using the macro recursively?

Re: Fwd: Re: %Quotestyle question
The regexp would be "([a-zA-Z]*)@" and the match would end up in "\1". I don't have any idea how to set this up in TB!. There seems to be a problem. Usually, if the email address is in the form [EMAIL PROTECTED], without any "real name", it works (with one excpetion I haven't figured out yet: there I get the full email address instead of jsut the 'local part'). If the original sender's "From" information is in the form "Firstname Lastname [EMAIL PROTECTED]" I sometimes end up with "Firstname Lastname" (without quotes) as the quotestyle, sometimes only with "Lastname". How is this possible, since the inpout for the RegEx shouldn't even know about the "real name" and only look in the email address: %Regexpmatch='%OFromAddr'. -- Thanks for help and cheers, Thomas. -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org

I don't have any idea how to set this up in TB!.
Erm, no. This is the classic problem of trying to define what is a
"legal" email address. [a-zA-z]* doesn't match, for example,
[EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED].
Secondly, since these are Perl compatible regex it would be easier to use
\w* instead of [a-zA-Z]*. \w* has the notion of detecting the latter of the
above examples.
Also, I doubt that it would deposit into \1. If it is truly Perl
compatible regex it would deposit into $1.
So, as an exercise in pontification I decided to see what I could dig up.
First, from RFC822 the definition of an email address:
addr-spec = local-part "@" domain; global address
And then the local-part:
local-part = word *("." word) ; uninterpreted
; case-preserved
And then word:
word= atom / quoted-string
Then atom:
atom= 1*any CHAR except specials, SPACE and CTLs
Then special:
specials= "(" / ")" / "" / "" / "@" ; Must be in quoted-
/ "," / ";" / ":" / "\" / " ; string, to use
/ "." / "[" / "]" ; within a word.
So, from all of that we get the following in english. An email
address is made up of two parts, a local part and a domain. The local part is
a single word or multiple words separated by a dot(.). A word is defined as
either a single atom or a quoted string and an atom is defined as any number
of characters except specials (defined in the spec), space and control
characters.
H, to define a regex to match that in the context of extracting the
email address. Warning, perl syntax from here on out since I've not worked
with TB!'s implementation since it is 100% undocumented outside of the what's
new (AFAIK).
m/([\w\.]+)@/ would catch things like [EMAIL PROTECTED] But
here is the problem. ! isn't listed as a special and I don't think it is a
control. So is #, $, %, ^, , *, -, _, +, =, ', /, ?, \, |, `, ~. So,
technically, those can be used for an email address. So...
m/([\w\!\.\#\$\%\^\\*\_\-\=\+\'\,\/\?\\\|\`\~]+)@/ *should*, in theory,
match all "legal" email addresses. That is, of course, assuming that you
could extract the email address in the first place or that TB! presents only
the email address to the regex. If not then you need to figure out a way to
parse out the name, find the innermost set of 's which are traditionally used
to denote email addresses and /then/ apply the above regex to that portion.

Re: %Quotestyle question
Just to show how hard it is to do this...

^^
That would match a \ which is in the specials definition (2nd row, 2nd to
last character) so it shouldn't be in there. Also, to be completely correct,
\w includes _ so that isn't needed later on in the match. If I felt like it I
could also remove a lot of the \s, but I don't feel like wondering which
characters are special and which aren't.
m/([\w\!\.\#\$\%\^\\*\-\=\+\'\,\/\?\|\`\~]+)@/ should do the trick. :)

Morning Steve Lamb, H, to define a regex to match that in the context of extracting the email address.

%Quotestyle question
Hi TBUDL, I can't figure this out. In my company, the email addresses are [EMAIL PROTECTED] The "real name" is always "Our Company Inc", which means that the quotestyle "initials" results in an abbreviation that is not commonly used. Also, I want to show who the actual sender of the original mail was. (I already complained to head office that all employees use the same "real name", but who would listen to me? sigh) So, I want the %Quotestyle macro to return "name" as in the email address. In other words, the "user" part of the email address without the "domain". Is that possible? -- Thanks, Thomas Message created with The Bat! 1.44 under Chinese Windows 98 4.10 Build 1998 on a Pentium II/350 MHz. -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org
