[imapfilter-devel] iterate on defined filters

[Joel CARNAT]

Hi,

I want to "tidy" mails like INBOX.year.month.kind where kind will be things like virus_alert, spam_alert, ...
I found how to grab the date from the message and build the correct INBOX.
What I would like now is do something like : for F in SomeOfMyDefinedFilter; do match(F)&mov; done

What I have is :
***************************************************
spam = { 'subject "SPAM FROM"', }
virus = { 'subject "VIRUS" "FROM"', }

for ALERTS in {spam, virus} do
	print("ALERTS is " .. ALERTS)
	results = match(admin_vc, 'INBOX', ALERTS)
	headers = fetchheaders(admin_vc, 'INBOX', { 'date ' }, results)
	if headers ~= nil then
		for ID, HDR in pairs(headers) do
			_, _, month, year = string.find(HDR, "Date: %a+, %d+ (%a+) (%d+)")
move(admin_vc, 'INBOX', admin_vc, year .. '.' .. month .. '.' .. ALERTS, results)
		end
	end
end
***************************************************
here, imapfilter says : table expected, got number
if I use 'for ALERTS in {"spam", "virus"} do', I got : table expected, got number

How can I refer to the name of some defined filter (if possible) ?

TIA,
	Jo

PS: any good link to learn LUA (else than google_lua_tutorial :) ?
