Multiple logs with one file directive | Log collection solutions

If wildcards are not enough, can I specify multiple files like

File "/var/log/messages;/var/log/otherlog;/var/log/something"

Or are regular expressions allowed here?

Unfortunately that won't work, only one File directive can be used per module instance. On the other hand you can add multiple im_file instances to your conf. Not so nice but works.
