LAST EDITED ON 07-04-01 AT 10:34 AM (EST) Hi,

I understand there are changes in 3.32B3 with regard regular expression parsing. I'm trying to do a global exclude based on substring search within file/subject name.

Lets say I wanted to download any post with "fred" in the subject line. I would previously add "*fred*" to the 'accept matching subjects' list.

How would I do that now?

Thanks in advance

Just add "fred" without the quotes. It'll match anywhere in the filename. You might or might not want this in the subject filter since it will match anywhere. It'll match a subject like:

"fred likes his bikini - bikini.jpg"

You could require a file extension appear in the subject though with something like

fred.*[.]jpg
fred.*[.]avi
fred.*[.]

It would still match bikini

Adding "fred" without the quotes works in the filename filter but seems not to in the subject filter.

Just feedback. I know you are working on it
