Topic: Regex and attachments.. again :)Posted: 24 March 2004 at 1:28pm |

I am sorry to ask this question because I can't but think it has been asked many times before. But I searched the forum and did not find an answer. I admit I am new to Regex and have been trying to teach myself the syntax so I can built my own search strings. But could someone give me a jump start on the proper syntax to block attachments ? I would like to create individual matches for different types of extensions. In other words I want to explicitly define matches for *.zip, *.exe, *.scr, *.exe... Can someone give me a few working examples of working syntax for this type of regex traps ? By the way I did find a pretty good tutorial site called http://www.regular-expressions.info. Thanks and again apologize if this has been answer before. Lee |

Actually, for simple extension matches, RegEx's are not required. A simple list will work as below /// or am I misunderstanding the question?
*.pif *.scr etc Dan S. |

Dan, Actually it is my fault for not specifying enough information. Unfortunetly I am using 1.2.0.212 which does not have the extenstion blocking capability. :( So I was under the impression that I could use regex in the Keyword field to block specific file extentions. Lee |

Lee, If that is possible, I do not know how to do it. I believe there were significant code changes to allow for the attachment blocking. IF, however, you got lucky, you may be able to dig it out of the "Content" lines but I have not had real reliable luck there. Dan S. |

Ok Dan then I misunderstood the other threads about regex and attachments. I assumed they were trying to do this using the keywords because the versions that were being used did not have the Attachment blocking. Oh well. Bummer. :( Thanks for taking the time to "splain it too me" (said in my best Ricky Ricardo voice) hehe Lee |
