Dear All, I've got a "String matching error" in my logs. I know SF 4.x skip bad regex, but is there a way to know which regex doing this error ? I've got about 2000 differents complex regex lines, and it's a bit complex to check it all... Thank you for replies ! Best regards, Shade. |

Shade,
The log entry itself should indicate the expression but I need to go back a few months in my logs to find an example. ------------- The Desperado Dan Seligmann. Work: http://www.mags.net Personal: http://www.desperado.com |

Tricky one. Check your two keywords: (. omari.com) (. etcomvad.com) They have a hidden #0A character (line feed) after the period. That confused the logging as well! ------------- Roberto Franceschetti http://www.logsat.com" rel="nofollow - LogSat Software http://www.logsat.com/sfi-spam-filter.asp" rel="nofollow - Spam Filter ISP |
