Criterion constructor function to be combined in a custom search statement

Usage

on(date_char, negate = FALSE)

Arguments

date_char: A character string with format "DD-Mon-YYYY", e.g. "01-Apr-2019". We opt not to use Date or POSIX* like objects, since IMAP servers use this unusual date format.
negate: If TRUE, negates the search and seeks for "NOT SEARCH CRITERIA". Default is FALSE.

Value

A search string to be used as a request parameter in ImapCon$search() function.

See also

Other custom search: AND(), ImapCon, OR(), before(), filter_stored(), flag(), fuzzy(), larger_than(), modseq(), older_than(), saved_before(), sent_before(), sent_on(), sent_since(), since(), smaller_than(), string(), verbatim(), younger_than()

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# select folder & search
con$select_folder(folder = "INBOX")
# search for messages SINCE "17-Apr-2019" AND SMALLER than 512KB.
res <- con$search(request = OR(on(date_char = "30-Jun-2019"),
                               on(date_char = "22-Mar-2018")))
# search for messages received ON "30-Jun-2019" OR ON "22-Mar-2018".

} # }
