[Ifile-discuss] space vs tab

[Bill Williamson]

I am using ifile in a "crazy style" auto-filter arrangement on my 
courier imap server (with procmail).  I have folders with spaces in 
their name, and currently do some odd substitution tricks to get it changed.

Attached is my procmailrc and my ifile.sh "autolearn" file which runs 
once every 15 minutes from cron.  Any suggestions on de-crazifying this 
would be helpful as well.

for mail in $(find /home/batkiwi/Maildir -cmin -15 -path '*cur*' -type f | grep 
-v 'Trash' | grep -v 'Sent' | grep -v 'Spam' )
do
        if [ -f $mail ]
        then

        folder=`echo $mail | sed 's/.*Maildir\/\(.*\)\/.*/\1/'`
        if [ "$folder" = "cur" ]
        then
                folder="INBOX"
        else
                folder=`echo $folder | sed 's/\.\(.*\)\/cur/\1/' | sed 's/ 
/:/g'`
        fi

        oldfolder=`cat "$mail" | formail -z -x X-IFile-Guess | sed 's/ /:/g'`
        subject=`cat "$mail" | formail -z -x Subject`
        if [ "$oldfolder" = "$folder" ]
        then
                #echo "$oldfolder already correct for $subject"
                blah="blah"
        elif [ "$oldfolder" = "" ]
        then
                echo "old folder empty, new folder $folder for $subject"
                grep -E "^[-[:alnum:]]*: " "$mail" | /home/batkiwi/ifile -i 
"$folder"
        else
                echo "$oldfolder to $folder for $subject"
