The documentation has this example
body location example
{
select_line_matching => "^Expression match.* whole line$";
}
and says that ^ and $ are not necessary.
The following script
body common control
{
bundlesequence => { "edit" };
}
bundle agent edit
{
files:
"/tmp/thefile" edit_line => edit2;
}
bundle edit_line edit2
{
insert_lines:
"Insert after two" location => "after2";
}
body location after2
{
select_line_matching => "^two$";
before_after => "after";
}
produces this error
cf3:./edit.cf:23,0: Broken variable syntax or bracket mismatch - inner ($/),
near token ''
If I replace both ^ and $ with .* (or remove them altogether) cf3 reports
cf3 !! The promised line insertion (Insert after two) could not select a
locator matching .*two.* in /tmp/thefile
(and similaraly for the second case), despite there being a line in
/tmp/thefile consisting of just the word "two":
# grep '^two$' /tmp/thefile
two
In both cases, cf-agent ends with a segmentation fault.
