I have a crude script that includes line like below, to look for dates in HTML only email:
.. fgrep -f dates part2 && exit 0 .. 'dates' has dates like so: 1/10/2014 12/10/2014 that works well, EXCEPT, '1/10/2014' will match 1/10/2014, good, BUT also 11/10/2014 and 21, and 31, not good HTML mail has format like so: Date Time: </td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">1/10/2014 1400 Tuesday</td></tr> or Date Time: </td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">11/10/2014 1400 Tuesday</td></tr> so, should I have dates in such format in my 'dates' file: rowspan="1">1/10/2014 rowspan="1">12/10/2014 do I need to quote/escape the '>' in the text, how? or is there a better way to deal with this? thanks V -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
