Filter Advice please

[co...@gawab.com]

Hi,

Some advice for setting up a filter please.

I would like a 'keep' filter for all files with 'nfo' in subject. No
problem with that. However it also keeps files with 'info' in the
title.
Tried to use 'nfo and not info', but it does not keep either that way!
So my question is how do I set up Agent to keep 'nfo' but not 'Info'.

TIA
Corky

It could be that you didn't quite have the syntax right. You can test
filter expressions using the global search window to see which
articles it matches.

I think you want a filter that says the following:

subject: {nfo} and not subject: {info}

It is basically two expressions linked with an and statement. I
suspect you were trying to do this with a single expression. Sometimes
it is easier to get what you want with multiple expressions linked
together.

Hope this helps!!
