When trying to match tokens in the workspace to members of a class, you can use the $= operator. For example, consider the following rule: R $+ < @ $={InternalHosts} > $: < @ mailhub > Here, the workspace is expected to hold a focused address (such as gw<@wash.dc.gov >). The $={InternalHosts} expression causes sendmail to look up the host part of the address (the wash.dc.gov ) in the class {InternalHosts} . If that host is found in that class, a match is made and the workspace is rewritten by the RHS to become gw<@mailhub >. Class macros in general are described in Chapter 22, and the $= operator in particular is described in full in Section 22.2.1. Note that the $= operator can be used only on the LHS of rules, and that the $= operator can be referenced by an RHS $ digit operator. |
