Is there a filter that will work with NewsBin which will filter all attachments between 1 and 100 lines in size for which the strings "."000 or "."nfo doesn't appear in the subject line? I'm looking for something matching the following filter which I presently use with Dazzler's Agent 32:

[1,100] and not Subject: {\.000|\.nfo}

I realize that NewsBin uses file size rather than the number of lines.

Thank you.

You would enter filters in two different places. First, determine what 100 lines come out to be in terms of file size on average and enter that as the Minimum File Size in the File Size Filters. Then, use the RegEx (\.nfo|\.000) as a Subject Filter.

Wait a minute, shouldn't it be (\.nfo)|(\.000)? Or is the above the correct grouping? I was never sure as to the use of the pipe character in RegExp.

It works either way. The groupings mean different things in Perl because a match inside parens will be assigned to an internal variable. My way would give one variable, your way would give two. In NewsBin, it doesn't matter. Give it a try.

I like your way better.
