question:Can you provide some examples of common filtering criteria that I can use as a starting point for my customization? And also some resources where I can learn more about regular expressions and how to use them in Perl?
answer:Certainly! Here are some common filtering criteria that you can use as a starting point for your customization: - Sender: Filter emails from specific senders or domains. - Subject: Filter emails with specific keywords or phrases in the subject line. - Content: Filter emails with specific keywords or phrases in the email body, headers, or attachments. - Date: Filter emails based on the date range they were received, for example, email received in the last 24 hours or email received between specific dates. For more filtering criteria, you can review your email history and identify the commonalities between the types of email you receive and want to filter. As for learning more about regular expressions in Perl, there are many online resources available. Here are a few to get you started: - Perl Regular Expressions Tutorial: http://www.comp.leeds.ac.uk/Perl/matching.html - Regular Expressions in Perl: https://www.perltutorial.org/perl-regex/ - Perl Regular Expressions Cookbook: https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/perl-regular-expressions/9780596527066/ - Perl Regular Expressions Cheat Sheet: https://cheatography.com/davechild/cheat-sheets/perl-regular-expression/ These resources will provide you with a solid foundation in using regular expressions in Perl, and you can use this knowledge to customize your filtering criteria as needed.
question:Can you recommend any Perl modules or libraries that can simplify the process of connecting to email server(s) and extracting email fields? Also, do you have any tips on how to avoid false positives when filtering emails with regular expressions?
answer:Yes, there are several Perl modules and libraries that can simplify the process of connecting to email server(s) and extracting email fields. Here are a few popular ones: - Email::Folder: Allows you to read email messages from mailboxes on your local machine. - Email::FolderType: Allows you to distinguish between different types of mailboxes. - Mail::IMAPClient: Allows you to connect to and interact with IMAP servers. - Mail::POP3Client: Allows you to connect to and interact with POP3 servers. - Email::Simple: Provides a simple interface to message headers and bodies. Using these modules and libraries can make your code more concise and easier to maintain. As for avoiding false positives when filtering emails with regular expressions, here are some tips: 1. Be specific: Use regular expressions that are as specific as possible to avoid unintentionally matching other emails. 2. Test your expressions: Test your regular expressions on a small subset of emails to ensure they are working as expected. 3. Use multiple criteria: Use multiple filtering criteria to increase the accuracy of your filtering. 4. Use exclusion criteria: Use exclusion criteria to filter out emails with certain characteristics that you don't want to see, even if they match your normal filtering criteria. 5. Monitor your filtered emails: Regularly review your filtered emails to ensure that no messages are being wrongly filtered. By following these tips, you can minimize the likelihood of false positives and ensure that your filtered emails are accurate and useful.
question:Read the passage below and answer the question or follow the instruction: Can you give a summary of the plot for the movie "The Lady in the Van", including its main characters and themes? Passage: In The Lady in the Van, the remarkable Maggie Smith can be found swathed in layers of ratty clothes, pushing a pram filled with protuberant plastic bags, snapping at neighbors (and the neighbors' children), and generally making a nuisance of herself. It's a far cry from the Dowager Countess of Grantham that Smith has played with all those haughty tsks and tuts in Downton Abbey - the opposite end of the spectrum, really, in social standing and the environs in which her character resides. Adapted and reiterated from what has already been a memoir and a play, The Lady in the Van is based on British writer Alan Bennett's 15-year saga of having a profoundly unkempt and unpleasant homeless woman living in the driveway of his London townhouse. Smith played this woman, known as Mary Shepherd, in the 1999 West End theater production, and returns for the film, which likewise represents a repeat performance for the play's director, Nicholas Hytner. Try not to let the film's overbearingly jaunty score get in the way. The Lady in the Van is quite a feat. For one thing, it offers another deft and deeply felt performance from Smith, who finds the frightened and fragile heart of this irascible "eccentric" - her slowly revealed history full of promise, possibility, and tragic turns. For another, it's a film about the writer's art and that strange process by which the outside world is extrapolated, exploited, and commingled with the interior one. Bennett, played in bifurcated modes by Alex Jennings, is a shy, brainy, self-admonishing scribe. As Ms. Shepherd moves into his life, we see Bennett as both the reluctant host and the artist eager to extract all the juicy info he can from this odiferous (onions, excrement) squatter. Literally, we see him in dual incarnations: the one Bennett, hunkered over his typewriter, chastising the other, tamped down and woefully polite, observing Shepherd from the window. The couples, families, and acquaintances who share Bennett's street in London's Camden neighborhood gawk, gossip, and carry on about the woman who sleeps in the rusted camper. It's a liberal community, struggling to balance its progressive political and social views with the uncomfortable reality of being in close proximity to a mentally off-balance and off-putting crone. So, The Lady in the Van is a story of compassion and empathy, too. For Bennett, it's also a story about dealing with impossible old women: Mary Shepherd right there in front of him, and his mother (Gwen Taylor) living in a seaside town and growing more senile by the day. Guilt and responsibility dog his every move. Director Hytner turned Bennett's play The History Boys into a film, and he sneaks most of its classroom cast into The Lady In the Van, in cameos. The 2006 release's stars pop up as an actor (Dominic Cooper), a doctor (Sacha Dhawan), a street vendor (James Corden), and so on. The real Bennett pops up, too, riding a bicycle down his Camden street in a neatly symmetrical final scene. Directed by Nicholas Hytner. With Maggie Smith, Alex Jennings, Gwen Taylor, Jim Broadbent. Distributed by Sony Pictures Classics. Parent's guide: PG-13 (adult themes).
answer:The Lady in the Van is a film based on the true story of Alan Bennett's experience with a homeless woman named Mary Shepherd who lived in the driveway of his London townhouse for 15 years. Maggie Smith plays the role of Mary Shepherd and delivers a deep and powerful performance. The film also explores themes of the writer's art and the relationship between the interior and exterior worlds. Bennett, played by Alex Jennings, is shown as the reluctant host and artist eager to extract information from Shepherd. The film also touches on the liberal community's struggle to balance their progressive views with the harsh reality of being in close proximity to a mentally unbalanced and unpleasant woman. The film is PG-13 due to adult themes.
