Hi,

I'd like to have a single log category for logs that get split into multiple files, like this:

LogName.log
LogName.log.1
LogName.log.2
(etc)

This regular expression ("LogName.log.*") matches all three log names, but when I use it as a regular expression log file filter, it only matches LogName.log.

Does the file filter not work the way I expect? Is there anyway to make a category that will match all those names?

Thanks,
Richard

The screenshot above used a placeholder name. This screenshot is the real name and regex.

While I was testing to re-confirm that AnalyticalTools.log is matched but AnalyticalTools.log.1 is not, I tried manually setting the category for AnalyticalTools.log.1 to "AT Log", and now the category is applied correctly.

It also seems like the behaviour is different whether I open a file using "Open File" or drag-and-drop. That is, when I open a file, the log category is applied correctly. But if I drag-and-drop, no log category is applied, even if I close the file and re-open it using the "Open File" button.

Maybe something is being cached somewhen when it shouldn't?

I have columns but no highlights.

Hi,

Using Pattern didn't help, but the regex does work now.

Some of the older files I've been trying to open are in a different format, and wouldn't match the default columns I've set up. I would swear that I was trying to open the new files last week, but I didn't keep track, so I can't prove. I must admit, it makes more sense that I was opening the wrong files than that the feature mysteriously started working today.

Thanks for the help and sorry for the bother.
