Sorry to double-dip on this one, but your example below brought up a new
problem. My work-around for the file_basename issue was this:
Exec $file.name = file_name(); \
if $file.name =~ s/^.*\\(.*)$// $file.name = $1;
But having seen your suggestion, I tried this:
Exec if file_name() =~ s/^.*\\(.*)$// $file.name = $1;
But when I did that, I got a syntax error 3 lines further down in the config
file. My _impression_ is that something in that syntax caused nxlog to
"consume" the data on that line, and the next three lines, right up to the end
of the module.
Any thoughts about what I might be missing there?

THANKS for the planned fix! I've kept (but commented out) the function, and
had already (temporarily) coded a regex, which seems to be doing the trick. I
DO appreciate you offering up a solution!
Thanks again. Have a great week.

Hi,
The backslash is the culprit. Will be fixed in the next release. Thanks for
spotting this.
Meanwhile you should be able to extract the filename with a regexp:
if file_name() =~ /\([^\]+)$/ $basename = $1; (Untested, so not sure whether I
got the above right)
Regards,
Botond
