Subject: Re: [nxlog-ce-users] Multiple criteria for drop();

Hi,

Normally you should escape slash and parenthesis in regular expressions.
Unfortunately there is a known bug in the regexp parser with the escaped
slash \/ in some cases.
A possible workaround is to use '.' or \x2F instead.

Regards,
Botond
