Re: Regexp parses only first line correctly

The 'partition' part of a line should be matched by

\/\w*
[download]

(no character class needed, and note '*' quantifier). Change the first line of your regex to

\s+ \w+: \s \/\w* \s+         # host, partition
[download]

and it will work (at least it does here).

Updated: added bit to note change in quantifier relative to OP.

I had that initial suggestion as well, but withdrew that recommendation because it will fail if the line contains a path with more than one slash, such as : `hostname: /dir3/dir4 level=incr, 1449 MB 00:56:31 46 + files` [download] Keeping the character class, but correcting repetition will work in this case as well.

Yes, I see that you (almost completely) changed your original reply, but with no indication of the changes. Even better might be `\s+ \w+: \s /\w(?:/\w+) \s+ # host, partition` [download] Update: Getting a regex in there that matches all possible (legal) path specifications is more complicated than what I have here. Usual advisories about "know your data" apply.	[reply] [d/l]
