Thank you. It works using PCRE syntax leaving off the pattern
delimiters.

TB!'s help entry for "Regular Expressions" says:-

  The Bat! allows the use of regular expressions in these places: 

  Message Editor
  Message Finder
  Sorting Office / Filters
  Templates (using macros)

And following Message Finder link, the next help page says:-

  To make the Message Finder use regular expressions as the search
  pattern, enter the regular expression you want to use, and use the
  "Match" option in the drop-down conditions list. 
  
  The default PCRE options for the message finder are
  PCRE_CASELESS+PCRE_MULTILINE or PCRE_MULTILINE for a "Case
  sensitive search". Matching is done by treating the whole
  message as a single string. CF/LF pairs (0D/0A) are replaced by
  single LF (0A) characters before matching.

Recommendation for Regular Expressions

[Russell L. Farabee]

Hello All,

Before you get to the text, does anyone know why this message, which originally was 
sent in html format was bounced?  I've now changed it to all text.  I think.
 
I meant to mention this earlier when I was fighting my way through macros, filters and 
regular expressions.  For those of you who are not experts on regular expressions and 
have an extra $30, I highly recommend RegExBuddy http://www.regexbuddy.com/
Unfortunately, it's not shareware, but you can return it and get your money back.  
I've bought a lot of tools from the creator, so I don't think you'll have any trouble.
 
Also see  http://www.regular-expressions.info/.  It's done by the same guy, but has a 
lot of helpful information all of which is included in the help file that comes with 
RegExBuddy.
 
I was clueless about regular expressions, which is probably still true, but with it 
I've been able to make my filters and macros work fairly quickly.  It's especially 
helpful on testing because I can copy the email source and test against it.  It's 
almost paint by numbers.  
 
Hope it helps.

Testing Regular Expressions

[Allen]

This  may  be  a bit off topic, I apologize if it bothers anyone, but I've
only  recently  discovered  a  tool  that  is  quite  handy with regard to
creating  regular  expressions. It is similar to the RegEx tester that you
can  install  in  the  TB  help  file  (as  outlined at the TB FAQ). This,
however, is a bit more robust, may be setup more easily, and also has some
features that will really help someone new to regular expressions--such as
plain  english  annotation on what is wrong with an expression. Supposedly
it can also help walk new users through creating expressions, as well.

For  those  on  the list who use regular expressions a good bit, this tool
ought to come in quite handy.

IMHO *all* the O'Reilly books are good - including "Mastering Regular
Expressions".  And yes, I would recommend the O'Reilly book as both
reference, and to learn from (I use it when I need more RegEx help
than I can find in the other O'Reilly Perl books).

BTW, TB is *not* written in Perl, it is written with Delphi.

As listed in the FAQ, yes, but I also believe they use Delphi 5 for producing
current versions of TB!, and v2 will be surely produced by Delphi 5.

To Gerd Ewald:

TB's RegExps are Perl-compatible (the compatible library was used)... as far as
was written in Help :)

Visual C++ uses 'em, as does PHP, JavaScript and a lot of other
programming related stuff.
Then there are regexps in Hamster, a news/mail-server, in quite a few
text editors - including my oh-lord-I-feel-in-a-masochistic-mood-today
favourite vi and the quasi-OS Emacs.
A couple of news readers has got regexps to; Besides Agent and Gravity, I'm sure
of Xnews and slrn.

Hello Josh, 

(JR == "Josh Rogers") [EMAIL PROTECTED] engraved:

JR> What other applications is there for regex other than in TB? I
JR> understand Perl uses them, but anything else?

There are a ton of Unix/Linux tools that can use regular expressions.
In Windows, EditPlus can use them, and of course TB!. Those are the
only two in Windows that I use daily/weekly (although I could, and
should, be better at it). I connect to Unix machines via SSH all day
long and use egrep, perl, sh/bash, php (cgi and server module) and,
sometimes, sed and awk.

The owl book covers most of the Unix tools (at least all of the
above), but the principles are the usually same.

There's also a GNU Regular Expressions Document out there that should
be pretty easy to find on Google. If you can't find it, and you want a
copy, I can send it to you. But, the owl book is _much_ more gentile.

After all, RegEx is a very important and powerful part of TB! and it would

I think we all mean the same book by Jeffrey E.F. Friedel.

I read the German translation on a travel a few days ago: I didn't have any
experience in Regex, but I started to understand very basic Regex after
only 78 pages.

A later chapter in that book describes Regex in Perl. AFAIK TB is written
in Perl, so this book should describe Regex the way TB likes it.

The client that produced this header is Outlook Express. Another 
reason to blame this client, I suppose. Do you know If anyone every

How can you insert this =a0 manually in The Bat?

And last but not least: Can you tell me where to find more

Strictly speaking, it _is_ correct. If you look what exactly is
written in the MIME-munged subject, you see that in front of the 'Ich'
is a =A0, which is a 'hard space' (in HTML-speak:  ). So it
just looks like too much spaces, but there really is only one space,
followed by a hard space.

You'll have to change your macro. Try replacing the first '\s' in the
regexp with '[\s\xa0]'. But perhaps you should it leave it like it is,
what if i _wanted_ to start a subject with a 'hard space'? Or is it
time for a bug report to the developers of the mail client that put
the =a0 in the subject in the first place?

Regular expressions

[Patrice Neff]

Hi all,

I'm using a regular expression for building the reply-subject:

| 
|%Subject="Re: %SetPattRegExp=""(?i)\A\:?((\s*(re|aw|ha|rcpt|fw|fwd|forw|antwort)(\[\d*\])?:\s*)*)(\s*)(.*?)(\s*\z)""%RegExpBlindMatch=""%OSubj""%SubPatt=""6"""
(I've found this expression and have optimized it for my use. I
don't know where exactly I found it.) 

But this expression does not work as expected. Or more exactly,
let's say it works very irregularly. I've created a test folder
with some messages in it. Some messages have the same subject, but
with the regexp above, I get different results. There are too much
spaces. I tracked this down and I am now almost sure, it's because
the Mime-Encoded subjects. (I think this is the correct name for
this "strange" subjects)

Hopefully you'll understand better, when I give you some examples:

| =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Re=3A_Re=3A=A0Ich_haben_fertig?=
Will result in:
| Re:  Ich haben fertig
This is not correct, there are too much spaces.

| Re: Re: Ich haben fertig
Will result in:
| Re: Ich haben fertig
This is correct, there is one space after the "Re".

So, I come to my final question: Is this a bug with The Bat, or do
I have to change my macro? 

Thank you for your answers.

Greetings, Patrice

I myself like the former more than the latter.

I followed the free caret thread, I still wonder if it's all that
impossible to turn the current editor, _optionally_, a little less
programmer-oriented. Anyway, who cares? Let me add or delete a word with
no further paragraph editing required, and I'm happy.

> PMMail offers external editor support.

Since when? I'm surprised, I gave up with Pegasus about two years ago
when, among the other things, lots of people were asking loud for
external editor support but the author, according to two of his beta
testers, would have never abandoned the (disas)TER editor (their joke,
not mine :-)

Anyway, at present I think that I'll stick to TB, if v2 keeps the
promises, until either a multi email account version of Agent, or a
Pegasus version that can properly manage sent messages, or a Eudora
no-spyware, threading capable, lighter than 10 Megatons version are
released. That means TB forever, I think.

It depends. They may chose to support another editor as plugin, where it
will indeed be integrated as a part of TB. An example of this is Becky's
own editor which was written by an external party.

However, if TB! will support you using any editor of your choice ity
will only provide convenient hooks to fire up your editor and paste the
template output in it etc. After editing, you close your editor, at
which point TB! will copy the text from the temp txt file created and
send it. In such a situation, you'll be using your own editor with it's
own interface, *separate* from TB!.

PMMail offers external editor support. Perhaps you can try it to see
what I'm referring to.

I had been thinking of that myself, but I like their mailing list to
be placed in a folder and any other mail from Xoom in my inbox, so I
know something (perhaps) important has been send.

Your previous mail put me on the right track.
Like I said, I thought I had it figured out, and was happy as a clamp
to see that the regexp returned the string I was looking for, but I
didn't understand the usage of the regExps in the filter.
I thought I had to use the macro statements as well to produce a string
that TB would look for. Just the string with the expression as enough.

Silly me.

Now I found the right one.
I filter on the From: with the variable part as the expression and
everything works. Ahhh :)

Thanx for your help.

I count four instances of xoom.com.  Create a filter with the
following and see if it works most of the time:

String  Location   Presence
xoom.comKludgesYes

If the header you sent is any indication, there are plenty of matches
for this string in each message.

Remember, if you do not select regexp, the search string will match
any string with the filter line as a substring.  In terms of regular
expressions, the filter string I suggested above will match

(?i).*xoom\.com.*

Good luck and happy filtering.

If I remember right, don't they always put Xoom.com in their subject
field?  It has been a while since I've been spammed by them, but if
I'm right, you could just search on the subject line.

Is it of the form *@xoom.com?  If it is, then you can use the very
simple regexp

\d*@xoom.com

You seem to be familiar with regexps, so I won't explain it... :)

Well, the syntax for regular expressions in templates and in filters
are slightly different.  In Templates you are trying to capture part
of a string, so you have to use the macros.  But in the filters, you
are trying to simply match the string, so you just need the regular
expression itself.  Don't include the macros.

What you seem to be trying to filter is any messages have the same
message ID as From address.  As far as I know, this isn't possible to
do in TB.  But I think there might be easier solutions.  Can you send
some headers from a couple of these newsletters (perhaps you could
post them to a website and post a link here).

Regular expressions and Filtering

[Marcel]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi everyone,

Perhaps I've missed a message about filtering using RegExps, but since
I got the hang of using this great feature, I managed to create a real
puzzle for myself. :(

As soon as I discovered the power of RegExps I decided that I could
use them for at least one annoying host, that keeps sending me weekly
mails from different addresses.

I'm having a homepage at Xoom.com and they like to send mails with all
kind of information. I'm not really interested in what they have to
say, but, sometimes I like to read a topic or two, so I want to set
the mail aside in a folder of later reading.

The address Xoom uses to send the email is different everytime.
They use the message-ID in the From: so every message is unique
(Argh).

I figured out that using a RegExp I could filter the messages anyway,
so I created this beauty (Well, it's my first, so she beautiful ;)):

Strings:
 
%SETPATTREGEXP="(?m-s)(From:\s+)("".*""\s+<\w+)(-\w+-)(\w.*)"%REGEXPBLINDMATCH="%HEADERS"From:
 "XOOM.com/NBCi" 
Location:
  Kludges
Precense:
  Yes

The RegExp matches exactly the From: in the Kludges. (I tried it using
a QuickTemplate)

The only thing that this thing does is to extract the MessageID, so I
can recreate the From:. I thought I finally had it all right, but TB!
ignores the filter, as if it doesn't matches.

Am I doing something wrong, or did I understand the usage of Regexp in
the filters?

Yes, that sounds odd... When I wanted to convert from Agent to gnus
perhaps twenty months ago, gnus was not able to do offline news
reading[1] and too difficult for a gnus newbie to set up for multiple
pop3 mailboxes and only partial support for attachments. I then
dropped the idea to move mail and news to Emacs, kept Agent for news
and found TB! for mail. I've not bothered again to try newer versions
of gnus, i like the GUI of TB! (or many parts of it, there is always
room for improvements)

[1] Here in Europe without toll-free local calls offline operation is
still a must for me...

In Windows REs are pretty much left to rot.  In Unix it is almost better
to ask what applications /don't/ support them.  Every editor that I've used on
the Unix side have supported REs for search/search & replace.

Never understood the drive to use Emacs as an external editor for another
email client when it has gnus.  I'm told gnus is god when it comes to news and

Somehow I doubt that if I told Word to do something like the following in

My uses of RE's are mostly with grep (a tool for searching files) or
Perl (powerful text processing language, among other things) and
within Emacs, my favourite text editor (no, i won't say it's the best
one, i'm just used to it). And yes, i'm eagerly awaiting the

For filters - In the filter rule dialog go to the 'options' tab and

The UNIX operating system relies heavily on RE to do a multitude of
administrative functions. For example search within files for unique
sequences, as arguments to search the entire operating system,
development of lists to feed into shell routines (ie loops) for
cleaning up directories, the ONLY way to do any editting with the most
basic of text editors: "ed", and ditto for vi and sed.

 There's probably a little tunneling there.

Most advanced text editors and specialist 'search and replace' tools
support regular expressions. The two that I have installed here, ie,
UltraEdit and NoteTab Pro both support regular expressions. My personal
search and replace tool, BK ReplaceEM supports regular expressions.

Microplanet Gravity, a popular newsreader also supports RE. I'm sure
there are many others. :-)

Just wanted to point out that it is good for the general concepts but
since regexp syntax can vary from one implementation to the next other than
explaining the basic concept of regexp I doubt it would be of much use.

Regular Expressions Tutorial

[Paula Ford]

Hello All,

Here's a little tutorial on regular expressions that a fellow did for
Gravity users, if anyone is interested.

Regular Expressions

[Markus Gloede]
