Re: [syslog-ng] Glob character ranges

Doing a "man glob" shows it can do ranges. And I thought i read some Syslog-ng doc that said it could do it too?

glob does support ranges, but glib's glob[1] sadly does not. If the syslog-ng docs say somewhere it does, that is unfortunately a documentation bug. [1]: http://developer.gnome.org/glib/unstable/glib-Glob-style-pattern-matching.ht... As an alternative, you can use regexps - a bit costier, but for a simple regex, hopefully not by much. On another hand, not supporting ranges is suprising, and in other parts of the code, syslog-ng already uses plain old glob().. it might be worth considering switching the matching code over too, at some point. -- |8]
