Overview
A simple one line filter. It is useful for matching a single or multiple strings of text or IP addresses in the incoming message. By including multiple quoted search strings, it is possible to match String-A OR String-B.
Include: "link up" "link down"
Matches on either "link up" or "link down"
Details
The simple filter allows you to specify a single line of text to match. Each search string must be contained by double quotes. Multiple quoted search strings can be placed next to each other on the same line. The filter will then match any of the strings specified. This is an implicit OR relationship.
The [C] button selects a case sensitive or case in-sensitive string search.
The [S] button selects a sub-string search or an exact, whole string match.
Examples:
If the message text contains any of the listed words anywhere in the message, the filter result will be true.
Notice the [S] button is pressed, indicating a sub-string search. This means the search strings can appear anywhere in the text.
All strings must be contained in double quotes. Items can be listed next to each other and will be OR'd together.
The filter above reads as:
If any of the message text contains the text "POP3" or "SMTP" or "MAPI" in upper or lower case, the filter will be true.
If the message text exactly matches the specified string in the same case, the filter result will be true.
Notice the [S] button is raised, indicating the search string must exactly match the message text, character for character.
Notice the [C] button is pressed, indicating the case must match exactly as specified.
The filter above reads as:
If the message text is "The link is down" in the same case, the filter will be true.
