[syslog-ng]using ^ and/or $ in a regular expression match

Is it possible to use a ^ and $ in a regular expression in syslog-ng? This filter doesnt seem to catch the logged status message below, but if I remove the ^ from the match, then the status message is excluded.. Does syslog-ng just not support ^ and/or $, or is there something else I have to do to get them working? filter f_lost { facility(local0) and program(lost[0-9]*) and not match(^status); }; Jun 14 16:59:39 local@biggayal lost: tcpserver: status: 0/5 -- nick
