I have come across some odd lines that really can't be matched/parsed by the patterndb 2011-11-25T10:49:21-08:00 mmfs@hermes0022.westgrid.uvic.ca/localhost/hermes0022/xcat2.westgrid.uvic.ca local2.info mmfs: Module Size Used by 2011-11-25T10:49:21-08:00 mmfs@hermes0022.westgrid.uvic.ca/localhost/hermes0022/xcat2.westgrid.uvic.ca local2.info mmfs: mmfs26 1945576 0 2011-11-25T10:49:21-08:00 mmfs@hermes0022.westgrid.uvic.ca/localhost/hermes0022/xcat2.westgrid.uvic.ca local2.info mmfs: mmfslinux 326280 1 mmfs26 2011-11-25T10:49:21-08:00 mmfs@hermes0022.westgrid.uvic.ca/localhost/hermes0022/xcat2.westgrid.uvic.ca local2.info mmfs: tracedev 67148 2 mmf I would like to match these and parse out the number. The catch is that the number is right justified which means that there is a variable number of spaces before the number. I am open to suggestions about how to make a paterndb pattern to match this and parse the number into a tag/value pair. Failing that I would propose that a @SET@ parser. @SET:name:character set@ This will match a sequence of characters that contain any of, and only those characters listed by "character set" This will allow matches of arbitrary length separators such as spaces or hyphens or other cases that can not yet be handled.
