 |
|
hi,
have you ever wanted to filter your abook-contacts with procmail into a special folder? here the solution: just edit your .procmailrc!
your .procmailrc
| Code: | ABOOK=`grep ^email= ~/.abook/addressbook | cut -b7- | tr '\n' '|' | sed 's/|$//'`
:0:
* $^From.*(${ABOOK})
$MAILDIR/private |
have phun,

Would someone be so kind as to rewrite this rule to use Sylpheed's addressbook.
Sylpheed stores its address book in xml formated files in ~/.sypheed.
I have no clue as to how to even start.
Thanks in advance!

There is an index file: ~/.sylpheed/addrbook--index.xml which contains:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="US-ASCII" ?>
<addressbook>
<book_list>
<book name="Personal address" file="addrbook-000002.xml" />
</book_list>
<vcard_list>
</vcard_list>
<jpilot_list>
</jpilot_list>
<ldap_list>
</ldap_list>
</addressbook>
The book name points to the address book files, of which there could be as many as the user creates.
The addressbook file contains:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="US-ASCII" ?>
<address-book name="Personal address" >
<person uid="73604869" first-name="Barb" last-name="SampleA" nick-name="" cn="Barb SampleA" >
<address-list>
<address uid="73604870" alias="" email="bsamplea@domain1.fake" remarks="" />
</address-list>
<attribute-list>
</attribute-list>
</person>
<person uid="73604860" first-name="Darrell" last-name="SampleB" nick-name="" cn="Darrell SampleB" >
<address-list>
<address uid="73604861" alias="" email="dsampleb@domain2.fake" remarks="" />
</address-list>
<attribute-list>
</attribute-list>
</person>
<person uid="73604862" first-name="Henry" last-name="SampleC" nick-name="" cn="Henry SampleC" >
<address-list>
<address uid="73604863" alias="" email="henrys@domain3.fake" remarks="" />
</address-list>
<attribute-list>
</attribute-list>
</person>
<person uid="73604864" first-name="Bernd" last-name="SampleD" nick-name="" cn="Bernd SampleD" >
<address-list>
<address uid="73604866" alias="" email="Bernd.SampleD@domain4.fake" remarks="Work" />
<address uid="73604867" alias="" email="b.sampled@domain5.fake" remarks="Home" />
<address uid="73604868" alias="" email="bernd.sampled@domain6.fake" remarks="Home" />
</address-list>
<attribute-list>
</attribute-list>
</person>
</address-book>
Each person can have multiple email addresses.
All the information is there, I just have no clue as to how to use regular expressions.

| Code: | | grep email <sylpheed-adress-book-file> | sed 's/.*email="//' | sed 's/".*//' | tr '\n' '|' | sed 's/|$//' |
(sure, there are more elegant versions of doing this, but this one does its purpose)
i think this filters your emails to the following output:
| Code: | bsamplea@domain1.fake|dsampleb@domain2.fake|henrys@domain3.fake| \n
Bernd.SampleD@domain4.fake|b.sampled@domain5.fake|bernd.sampled@domain6.fake |
the rest should be done as above. |

Thanks very much!
So I am correct with this recipe:
| Code: |
ABOOK=`grep email ~\.sylpheed\addrbook-000002.xml | sed 's/.*email="//' | sed 's/".*//' | tr '\n' '|' | sed 's/|$//'`
:0:
* $^From.*(${ABOOK})
$MAILDIR/private
|
Or this recipe:
| Code: |
ABOOK=`grep ^email= ~\.sylpheed\addrbook-000002.xml | sed 's/.*email="//' | sed 's/".*//' | tr '\n' '|' | sed 's/|$//'`
:0:
* $^From.*(${ABOOK})
$MAILDIR/private
|

your correct with the first recipe: the second one would search for an expressoin email at the beginning of the line (this is the "^") which is not the case.
good luck  |
