Let's start from this very basic grep recipe... * ? formail -x Subject: | fgrep -is -f /etc/procmail/subjects.txt I will know it matched an entry in the file, but I will not know *which* entry (from subjects.txt) was matched. Is there an *easy* way to process this type of query *and* get the match output? I suppose in a worst case I could pipe to a script and go through the subjects.txt file line by line looking for a match, but there must be an easier way? My goal is that I desire to start collecting a "hit count" on the matches, so I see which ones are matched often and which ones are rarely matched, if ever. Thanks, Scott
