Wildcard filtering
Hello, Sorry if this is blindingly obvious but it's driving me nuts. I'm trying to set up a filter that will filter anything@TheSameDomain.com into a single folder but without much luck. putting a wildcard star before the @ doesn't work as I thought it would. -- Best regards, Richard Lane - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Magnum Opus http://www.magnumopus.co.uk Directory Opus 6 - Back from the Future http://www.gpsoft.com.au Current version is 1.61 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Richard, Although I'm sure there must be a regular expression that would do the trick for you, why not just put '@thesamedomain.com' [without the quote marks] as the text string, test for presence-yes in kludges, and away you go. Be sure it is up high enough in the filter list to avoid being preempted by another filter. -- JN Current version is 1.61 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Just lose the star. You want to filter on thesamedomain.com in the header (kludges), and this is exactly what you should use as the filter string. ;-) -- Cheers, Thomas.

Just put @TheSameDomain.com in the filter rule. I don't think there is a requirement to put anything before it as TB! will match on that in the header you specify. An example would be: *@mydomain.com would force TB! to look for *@mydomain.com in the location you specified (unless you have regexp enabled). @mydomain.com woulf force TB! to look for @mydomain.com in the location you specified... which I believe is what you are after, as it'll match anything before the @ too. -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Current version is 1.61 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

TB can use regular expressions, so any wildcard strings should be formatted as such. However, for this simple test you only need to use TheSameDomain.com for the string. You don't have to match the entire header field as this is a contains condition not equals. I've always liked solutions and enhancements where I can stop doing something to make it work.
