I have a case where an application logs something like

{date} {host} {program}: my first line...
...my second line...
...and my third line.


I want to make a correlation and unwrap these lines into

{date} {host} {program}: my first line my second line and my third line.


I started writing the patterndb to do this, but matching the ... at the end

of the line is difficult, so I used @PCRE:line:(.*)\.\.\.$@

but I then need to only use the $1 to set a value

<values>
 <value name="mymessage">$1</value>
</values>


Would this be the correct syntax to do this?

Is there an easier way that would perform well?

Thanks,
