I think you're going to have to be more explicit. I can only guess that your problem is that you want to read all text output (the log) until your regex matches what should be the prompt for a new command, and its matching something in the log instead?

If so, what is your regex exactly, whats the prompt you want to match, and what is in the system log that is getting matched instead?

If thats not it, then I've no clue, sorry.
