Matches Pattern filter:

This filter allows you to specify a pattern to use when processing articles.

The pattern uses the standard Unix-shell style syntax using the characters * ? \ [ ] ^ -

* - match 0 or more characters. For example *simple* matches any string with the word 'simple' in it.

? - match a single character.

\ - match the next literal character. This is intended to allow you to match any of the wildcard characters. For example: Hello\? matches the word 'Hello?'.

[ ] - used in pairs, match one of the specified characters. For example: [Hh]ello will match the words 'hello', or 'Hello'. Specify a range using '-' such as [a-z] or [0-9].

^ - When following [ it means 'not'. It inverts the meaning of the specified characters. For example: [^0-9] means any character not 0 thru 9.

Remember to use * to precede and follow any pattern you enter to allow the pattern to be found anywhere in the string.

Action:

1. Mark article as seen (Uses different color than other seen articles and marks them with a 'k'.)

2. Select article (for decoding, saving to a file, etc.)

3. Remove article from list (Prevents the article from being shown.)

Using the Move and Edit buttons, you can traverse and shuffle the list of actions.

Changes take effect only on unmarked, unseen articles after closing this dialog or opening another newsgroup. Removed articles are marked as seen when removed, and apply to any article seen or unseen.
