 |
|
Hi there,
I want to remove some special tag from the subject of a mail. For now, I use
| Code: | | xfilter "sed -e 's/\[SET\]//'" |
But this also removes the tag inside of mails. What shall I do to just remove it in the subject? (Asking for /^Subject: .*\[SET\]/ won't work since I would loose everything before (f.ex. Re: tags)).
Thanks
Marcel |

Use brackets, eg:
| Code: | | sed 's/\(^Subject:.*\)\[SET\] /\1/' |
