 Topic: keyword filter helpPosted: 24 February 2005 at 3:15pm |

Hi, I am doing keyword filtering with quite good success. I am having one little problem however that I think RegEx can help with. As I am regex declined at this time and haven't had much success in decoding the regex help page that comes with the program any assistance would be appreciated.
I want to filter the literal word. For example what is happening is I want the word cialis filtered. Using the word cialis in the list works fine except it also filters out emails that have the word specialist in them (speCIALISt). Filtering the word cock also filters email inbound from kpeacock@domain.com.
How does one prevent this from occuring?
Thanks for the help!!!
Wayne

Try putting a space in front/behind the word. " cialis" " cock " |

I'll give that a shot. What would the result be of using an asterisk after the word? cialis*

The asterisk is a wildcard. If you have cialis* (with the space in front), it will block anythign that starts with cialis. I am not sure if any words start with cialis or not, but if they did, it would trigger the filter. If you put a space on either side of the word cialis, it would only find the exact word cialis.

You can use a RegEx as: ((?i)(\bcialis\b)) The \b specifies a "word Boundary" Dan S. |
