[Bug 1006293] [NEW] exiqgrep fails to parse output of exim4 -bp if the mail message is less than 1k

[Milton Ngan]

Public bug reported:

If you have a message in the queue that is less than 1k in size,
exiqgrep will fail with a message like this:

Line mismatch:   2m   719 1SZe77-00047t-V9 <root at xxx.com>

The problem is that the regular expression requires there to be a suffix
on the size. Based on the previous implementations of exiqgrep, it looks
like a ? is missing after the [A-Z].


-               if ($line =~ /^\s*(\w+)\s+((?:\d+(?:\.\d+)?[A-Z])?)\s*(\w{6}-\w{6}-\w{2})\s+(<.*?>)/) {
+               if ($line =~ /^\s*(\w+)\s+((?:\d+(?:\.\d+)?[A-Z]?)?)\s*(\w{6}-\w{6}-\w{2})\s+(<.*?>)/) {
