Installed FiltaQuilla. Need help to construct Subject Regex Match string to filter spam with subject line where the spammer intersperses spaces between several of the characters in the message subject line. Tak e C o n t rol o f Y o u r F in a n c e s : O ur D ebt R eli e f Pr o gr a m Trying to filter on 4 or 5 successive single characters interspersed with spaces -- e C o n t Tried ^*[ ][^ ][ ][^ ][ ][^ ][ ][^]*$ , which I thought would return true on the sample above. It did not seem to work.

Chosen solution

The syntax of your regular expression is not correct. You could try the following regular expression (?:\S\s){4}\S I have tested the above regular expression on website regex101 and by using console of Firefox, but I have not tested it in FiltaQuilla. (Please see the attached images.)
