Hi Januk, B>> From: "Joe Blow" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
JA> I'm assuming there is always a name portion for the following. If JA> that is not true, we can work around it, but it means using a more JA> intimidating looking macro. JA> For the name, use: %REGEXPTEXT='(?i-s)\sFrom:\s*\"(.*?)\"' JA> For the address, use: %REGEXPTEXT='(?i-s)\sFrom:.*?\<(.*?)\>' Neither of these works for me. In trying to read them, I get, (?i-s) = Turn on caseless, turn off dot matching newline. \s = any whitespace character From: \s = any whitespace char *\" = 0 or 1 " chars (.*?) = 0 or 1 instances of anything \" = must have " The first line of the e-mail being replied to can any one of: From: "Vinnie" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or From: Vinnie Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or From: Vinnie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> From: "Vincent Q. Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The only consistent element is the address which appears to always be formatted the same. In your example, it looks like the first " char is optional but the second is not. Then there is the whitespace in front of the word "From:". I tried changing those but it had no effect. The regex produces nothing. I'm trying to understand this stuff but it's tough on the brain. ;-) -- Tom G. http://blarp.com <-- Free tech support The Bat 1.61 - Windows 2000 ______________________________________________________ Archives : http://tbtech.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
