             Summary: Add RepeatPatternConverter
                 Key: LOG4J2-3044
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-3044
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Pattern Converters
    Affects Versions: 2.14.1
            Reporter: Ralph Goers
            Assignee: Ralph Goers
             Fix For: 2.15.0


It is frequently desirable to add strings of repeating characters to a logging 
event to highlight it when viewing the log. To do this currently you have to 
manually type in the characters into the pattern which can make the pattern 
fairly long. This will add a pattern converter that can be specified as 
R\{#}{10}, which is considerably easier for the user than having to include 
########## especially if it appears twice in the message.
