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.


I have not tried.

The problem is not that we're paranoid;
it's that we're not paranoid enough.

Hi All,

Does anyone know if the search boxes support regex terms and, if so, how-to and 
what syntax?
