No, do not edit that file.

This is from the documentation, so changing it would never affect anything anyway.

Also from the documentation:

   It is a list of regular expressions and queues.

So looking back up at the example you quote, if the subject starts with begin, put this in the Start queue, if the subject ends with end, put it in the Finale queue.

A few things.  The operator is qr// not gr//, but you don't use qr here, you just use a string, like the docs show.  You put a simple regular expression in there and then put the queue name next.  If it makes it easier for you to read, you can even write:


Set( @MoveQueueBySubjectConditions, 'Paper Jam' => 'Printer/Copier/Scanner' );

If you need to be case insensitive, see the note in the docs about how to do that.
