camel route with regex choice

Question

I am new to servicemix/camel and not the greatest at regex but any help would be grateful.

I have a route which splits a file and converts each line into a class via bindy. This works fine. However, i only want lines which match a regex.

Using http://gskinner.com/RegExr/ i've checked my regex matches the test data, but when i run the route, all lines go to "Didnt match regex".

<split>
<tokenize token="\n"/>
<choice>
    <when>
        <!-- Regex: Matches on A, U or D followed by pipe | then ANYTHING, i.e.: A|azz454... -->
        <simple>${body} regex '^[AUD]\|.*'</simple>
        <unmarshal ref="bindyMasterProduct" />
        <log message="OUTPUT: ${body}"/>
    </when>
    <otherwise>
           <log message="Didnt match regex: ${body}"/>
       </otherwise>
</choice>
</split>

Regex:

^[AUD]\|.*

Match:

A|AZZ709256|Cheryl

DONT-Match:

Mode|Ref|Name

I realised i was going about the problem the wrong way. I dont need to to split the file at line level, i can just let bindy do it all for me.

I added the "skipFirstLine" annotation to my class and replaced the whole of the split xml with:

<unmarshal ref="bindyMasterProduct" />
