Examples
Logfile Name
\d{4}-[A-Za-z]{3}-Week\d{1}.log
Example matches...
2010-Feb-Week4.log2009-Dec-Week2.log1234-aBc-Week0.log
Between Parentheses
(?<=\[)(.*?)(?=\])
Matches everything between [ and ], so for example...
VMFS_SCSI_DS_01is matched from[VMFS_SCSI_DS_01] My_VM/MyVM.vmdk
Its essentially done via three chunks of the regex...
(?<=\[)
- Requires that
[ immediately proceeds the match
(.*?)
- Matches everything
(?=\])
- Requires that
[ immediately follows the match
VMHBA LUN ID
(?<=:)([01]?[0-9]?[0-9]|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5])$
Finds a number between 0 and 255 immediately after a : at the end of a line, specifically intended to get the LUN ID from a VMware canonical path, so for example...
13 is matched from vmhba3:0:13
Stepping through the regex...
(?<=:)
- Requires that
: immediately proceeds the match
([01]?[0-9]?[0-9]|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5])
- Matches any number between 0 and 255
$
- Ensures that the proceeding match occurs at the end of a line
