449 .PP | |
134 | 450 Numbers may have a suffix of 'k' or 'm'. As you might expect, 'k' |
451 indicates the number is to be multiplied by 1024 and 'm' indicates | |
452 it is to be multiplied by 1024*1024. Thus 10k is 10240 and 1m is 1048576. | |
453 | |
454 .PP | |
128 | 455 For example, the following filters download all articles in groups |
456 in the alt.binaries tree in full if they are < 10k in size, otherwise | |
457 downloads overviews. | |
458 .PP | |
134 | 459 .I filter group=alt.binaries.* bytes < 10k action=full |
128 | 460 .br |
461 .I filter group=alt.binaries.* action=over | |
462 .PP | |
463 This filter discards all articles with a subject resembling | |
464 the infamous "$$$ Make Money Now! $$$". | |
465 .PP | |
466 \fIfilter subject="\\$*.*Make.*[M|m]oney.*\\$" action=discard\fR | |

468 .SH REGULAR EXPRESSIONS | |
469 | |
470 .B NOFFLE | |
471 uses extended POSIX-style regular expressions in its filters. Regular | |
472 expressions are a powerful means of describing patterns that match | |
473 text. A full description is to be found in | |
474 .BR regex (7). | |
