One Word Regex

Unholies · Post by **Unholies** » Thu May 03, 2007 8:54 am

Hello i come across with a kind of bot attack.

Bots only writes one word. like " a "

Such As;

<k_nDm> a

How can i write a regex for only one word? but if the word has other words next to it, it will not block the message...

so if someone writes "ab" then it wont be blocked.

anybody can help?

So basically you want to block 1 character only messages?

The regular expression to do that would be "^.$" (without the quotes) where that will match any 1 character message where the 1 character can be anything including spaces and special characters.

Seems Like there is a space before a

I am really a newbie about this

If its always a space in front try somthing like "^..$" or "^ .$"

/spamfilter + cpnN block - test (^\s.\s$|^\s.$|^.\s$|^.$)
