Quick Regular Expression help needed :)

[gopunk]

what is one that will match all email addresses with some text "ns1.opt" in it? it isn't by itself, it's often something like "blah@ns1.optinblahblahblah.com"

oh and also what is one that will block some specified domain?

i wish i had time to learn them.... but alas...

thanks!

Huh? You want to block these addresses in what program?

Um, may the ignorant interject here? If all you want to do is filter/block email, why can't you just do that in in Tools-->Options?

mm... because this is an email list server... no gui, all command line

ok it's alright, it looks like the regular expression stuff for this particular software might not conform to "standard" regular expressions. forget i ever asked

if anyone is interested

 

[MichaelD]

Oh...OK...good luck!

Is there a standard? What program are you using? Something like *ns1.opt* would find just that phrase, but its definitely not perfect.

oh ok, maybe there isn't a standard? hehe i always thought there was, dunno why. ok thanks i'll give that shot. i think * means something else for listproc though... something about it being a suffix and repeating

Im not familiar with listproc. I dont think there is a standard but most places do it the same way, or atleast very similar.
