[rt-users] Follow-up question on Merge Ticket with existing ticket with the same subject

Thanks for the help.  I was able to make the scrip below work.

The scrip was able to merge new ticket with Subject: "Test Ticket Subject"
to an existing ticket with the same subject.

Just few more questions:
- what to add on the scrip to ignore preceeding characters such as RE: and
FWD:? A new ticket with subject: "RE:  Test Ticket Subject" to an existing
ticket with the same subject
- the scrip does not merge new ticket with subject: "** PROBLEM alert -
Saturn backup server/DNS is CRITICAL **" to an existing ticket with the same
subject. Is there a syntax that I need to add for this?

All help will be greatly appreciated.


Thanks!
