Hi! Is there any way of matching a regex from right to left? What Im looking for is a regex that gets MODULE WAS INSERTED EVENT LOST SIGNAL ON E1/T1 LINK OFF CRC ERROR EVENT CLK IS DIFF FROM MASTER CLK SRC OF from this input CLI MUX trap received: (022) CL-B MCL-2ETH MODULE WAS INSERTED EVENT 07-05-2010 12:08:40 CLI MUX trap received: (090) IO-2 ML-1E1 EX1 LOST SIGNAL ON E1/T1 LINK OFF 04-06-2010 09:58:58 CLI MUX trap received: (094) IO-2 ML-1E1 EX1 CRC ERROR EVENT 04-06-2010 09:58:59 CLI MUX trap received: (009) CLK IS DIFF FROM MASTER CLK SRC OFF 07-05-2010 12:07:32 If i could have done the matching from right to left I could have written something like everything to right of (EVENT|OFF) until the second appearance of more than one space [ ]+ The best I managed today is to get everything from (022) to EVENT with the regex CLI MUX trap received: \([0-9]+\)[ ]+(.*[ ]+(EVENT|OFF)) But that is not really what I wanted :)
