Hello all, I am having a problem with filtering. Here is my statement: filter noallnumbers { not program ("[0-9][0-9]*"); }; filter nostartperiod { not program ("^\." ); }; filter nostartslash { not program ("^\/" ); }; filter noparen1 { not program ("\\\(" ); }; filter noparen2 { not program ("\\\)" ); }; filter nocomma { not program ("\\\," ); }; filter nospace { not program ("\\\ " ); }; filter noamp { not program ("\\\@" ); }; filter goodlog { filter (noallnumbers) or filter(nostartperiod) or filter (nostartslash) or filter(noparen1) or filter (noparen2) or filter(nocomma) or filter (nospace) or filter(noamp); }; This statement does not work. If I take the top filter, noallnumbers, and use just that, the filter works. I am logging by program, so this is so I will not get error messages in the syslog-ng log. Any help? Thank you, Nija _____________________________________________________________ Global Virtual Desktop Get your free Desktop at http://www.magicaldesk.com
