Wild Card in Regular Expression
Tags:
Is there a way to put a wildcard in a regular expression? Here is an example of my Headerline that I need to set:
Jun 11 16:10:05 tst-tst01-rp adevents: ---Begin event transaction---
So I have this for my headerline, but it doesn't seem to work:
Headerline /^\w\w\w \d\d \d\d:\d\d:\d\d \w\w\w-\w\w\w\d\d-\w\w adevents: ---Begin event transaction---/
I was hoping to be able to use a wildcard like this, but it doesn't work:
Headerline /^*---Begin event transaction---/
Thanks for your time.

Something more like the following:
HeaderLine /^.+---Begin event transaction---/
Edit: I should also mention that the built-in regex is PCRE compatible so when you are testing, keep that in mind.
