Hello Chris, On Monday, July 1, 2002 at 08:45 GMT +0100, aliens probed Chris Weaven [CW] and found:
CW> The quick template is; Initials >>%IF:"%SETPATTREGEXP=""(?im-s)^X-Mailer\:.*(Bat!|Becky|Gnus|slrn).*$""%- >>REGEXPBLINDMATCH=""%HEADERS""%- >>%SUBPATT=""1"""<>"": CW> What am I doing wrong now? Ok, well the initials quick template should only generate the initials, it shouldn't do any decision making about when to use those initials. Do the decision making in a separate QT. I use 3 layers, my main template, a "name" template that decides how to display the name and if initials are appropriate, and and an initials template which generates the initials. Having said that, your initials QT isn't complete. You've only got the decision making part of the %IF statement. You haven't specified what to do. Check the help file for usage details of the %IF statement. For the initials generation, use one of two methods: <http://www.mail-archive.com/tbudl@thebat.dutaint.com/msg28598.html> <http://www.mail-archive.com/tbudl@thebat.dutaint.com/msg28645.html> Or, <http://www.mail-archive.com/tbtech@thebat.dutaint.com/msg02140.html> <http://www.mail-archive.com/tbudl@thebat.dutaint.com/msg42547.html> CW> I want it to look like yours! I am purposely being somewhat cryptic in my answers. The reason for that is you seem to be interested in cobbling together your own solution from fragments that are floating around. In the process you are probably learning a lot about templates and the macros. You are doing a good job and are almost there, so it would seem that I would ruin your well deserved sense of accomplishment if I just give you my solution. Having said that, if you would like to see a working template system (it is complex), I could give you my solution. It still won't be exactly what you want, but the necessary changes should be almost trivial for you. If you do want to see my full solution, you'll have to ask me off-list. -- Thanks for writing, Januk Aggarwal This page intentionally left unblank. ______________________________________________________ Archives : http://tbtech.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
