Hi Jennifer,
Thanks for the reply. I think I am seeing the light now. With your help
and others from the list, I am really getting it now. The FPs I was getting
are gone after changing the limit from \w{0,7} to
\w{1,7}?. This really makes a huge difference. Thanks again!
Don't feel awkward answering the questions. Know one knows a pet better
than the owner!
I would like to move away from the previous discussion but still maintain
this topic so I removed the previous posts but am maintaining the subject to
keep the thread. Hope this is good with those following this thread.
So I started experimenting again. Danger Will Robinson! ;)
I had the following HTML tag OBFU rule (variant of yours):
/(\>|\s)\w{1,5}?\<\/?\s?[\w\s]{6,150}\/?\s?\>\w{1,7}?(\s|\W|\<)/
The thing I started to notice was that it missed OBFU like below (which will
wrap a little - the <br> is followed by an EOL).
<br>
O<f>UR U<RCEN>S Doct<X>ors wi<qk>ll Wri<vlL>te YO<NOsF>U a<WmL>
Prescr<yhE>iption<br>
Y<jHCe>ou wi<fm>ll ge<nT>t i<n>t NEXT<m>-DAY vi<ZvI>a Fed<YYam>-Ex<br>
<br>
So I changed the rule to the following:
/(\>|\s)\w{1,5}?\<\/?\s?[\w\s]{1,150}\/?\s?\>\w{1,7}?(\s|\W|\<)/
But I started matching the following:
<small>Top</small>
This came from a legit newsletter. I assume that is why you used
[\w\s]{6,150}. I have not found an answer yet, but I have an idea that may
work. I think that if I create a rule like below, I might snag it.
/\s\w{1,5}?\<\/?\s?[\w\s]{1,150}\/?\s?\>\w{1,7}?(\s|\W)/
It seems that most ham does not include the spaces which break up words.
I'll experiment and let you know the results.
Thanks again Jennifer. These rules have really tagged a bunch of messages
that were at best borderline. A lot of messages would have slipped through
without these!
