Character classes in a spamfilter re
Posted: Tue Dec 14, 2004 6:17 pm
I have an re: '[^[:space:][:print:]]' which I would like to use to block all messages that
have non-ascii or control secquences in them. In a small sample program it works
like a charm, but if I use it as a spamfilter:
/spamfilter + cp block 0 Spam [^[:space:][:print:]]
every message gets blocked:
... matches filter '[^[:space:][:print:]]': [PRIVMSG #room5: '--how do you do that???'] [Spam]
In the sample prog. I use
regcomp ( &re1, "[^[:space:][:print:]", REG_EXTENDED|REG_ICASE|REG_NOSUB ),
same as unreal but get different results.
Anyone know why the difference?
Thanks
