The documentation has this example body location example { select_line_matching => "^Expression match.* whole line$"; }
and says that ^ and $ are not necessary. The following script body common control { bundlesequence => { "edit" }; } bundle agent edit { files: "/tmp/thefile" edit_line => edit2; } bundle edit_line edit2 { insert_lines: "Insert after two" location => "after2"; } body location after2 { select_line_matching => "^two$"; before_after => "after"; } produces this error cf3:./edit.cf:23,0: Broken variable syntax or bracket mismatch - inner ($/), near token '' If I replace both ^ and $ with .* (or remove them altogether) cf3 reports cf3 !! The promised line insertion (Insert after two) could not select a locator matching .*two.* in /tmp/thefile (and similaraly for the second case), despite there being a line in /tmp/thefile consisting of just the word "two": # grep '^two$' /tmp/thefile two In both cases, cf-agent ends with a segmentation fault.
