That's the english fraction ... problem is: if TB! is in german it
would look like this:
>23.11.2001, 19:08:56: FETCH - Empfangene Nachrichten von [EMAIL PROTECTED] (2987 bytes)
>(bearbeitet von "MyMail", "TB", verschoben nach "\\Lists\TB")

AL> What I can say:

Nope ... it's yet not bad ... TB! only accounts the 'processed by'
for incoming mail, I've set some outgoing filters, they are hit but
not shown in log file.
AL> word with "@" is from address _always_ too
Nope ... it must be the word before the first brackets and I will test
a bit if I'm able to receive a mail containing no '@' :-)
AL> text inside first brackets is size _always_
Seems so.
AL> if there are not second brackets pair - there are not filters in work
Or it is 1.53 :-) (A guess from what I've heard/read from Karin)
AL> filters and destination folders can be _easy_ detected and separated
AL> They are _always_ inside_ second brackets, they have from '"name of"'

That's what I'm already matching on:
'(' some text followed by a number of '"FilterName", '
some text followed by '"<directory>")'
the most difficulty part was the
number of '"FilterName", '
part :-)
PP>> So if somebody changes the language

AL> I tried to show you, that it can't change nothing in good-planned algo

That's why I'm putting on that test version for finding _what_ is the
difference and what is the common in the log files :-)
PP>> Next problem is I don't know how detailed the output should be ... is
PP>> 'Date' really necessary? Or 'From'? Or 'Destination' (folder)?
AL> No ideas :-)... I use eyes on logs, in hard cases - grep | gawk :-)...
AL> It's enough for me
'egrep', 'cut', 'sed' & 'awk' ... I don't want to miss them :-)
But this tool ain't for greppers but for the non-command-line fraction
:-)
Nevertheless thanks for your help :-)
