One of these days I'll learn regex.
I have the following filename
PE-run1000hbgmm3f1-job1000hbgmm3dt-Output-Workflow-1000hbgmm3fb-22.07.17.log
I'm able to get this to work so...
(?<logtype>[^-]+)-(?<run_id>[^-]+)-(?<job_id>[^-]+)-(?<capability>[^(0-9\.0-9\.0-9)]+)
logtype: PE
run_id: run1000hbgmm3f1
job_id: job1000hbgmm3dt
But I'm getting
capability: Output-Workflow-
...though I want it to be
capability: Output-Workflow-1000hbgmm3fb
...that is, all the text after the job_id up to the timestamp HH.mm.ss. Any help please? Thanks!
It is because you cannot negate a sequence of symbols with a negated character class. [^(0-9\.0-9\.0-9)]
matches any single char other than (
, digit, .
and )
.
You may replace your (?<capability>[^(0-9\.0-9\.0-9)]+)
with (?<capability>.*?)-\d{2}\.\d{2}\.\d{2}
to get the right value.
Now, the (?<capability>.*?)-\d{2}\.\d{2}\.\d{2}
will match any 0+ chars (and capture them into "capability" group) as few as possible (since the *?
is a lazy quantifier) up to the first occurrence of -
, followed with 2 digits, and then 3 sequences of a dot (\.
) followed with 2 digits.
