I would welcome it if someone could give me a regex to use in the filter. I want to be able to see only those subject lines which begin with a number.

Eg. "099 This is the first example"

Secondly, I would like to see only those subject lines which begin with a left square bracket followed by a number.

Eg. "[133/400] This is the second example"

Thank you for any help.

It's really not hard to learn...

Some of the beginner's websites for regex which I have been to are truly mind-boggling!

The Newsbin link seems altogether more friendly.

Thanks. Iwill read through those pages.
