I have a log like this:



14:40:33.476 [WebContainer : 149] sometihng sometihng 
14:40:33.476 [WebContainer : 149] sometihng sometihng
14:40:33.476 [WebContainer : 149] sometihng sometihng
14:40:33.476 [WebContainer : 245] csometihng sometihng
14:40:33.476 [WebContainer : 245] sometihng sometihng
14:40:33.476 [WebContainer : 245] sometihng sometihng


I use nxlog to send this to kafka, what I want is to merge all lines with "WebContainer : 149" into one, and next line when this changes and so on.

          You can use the following regex to capture all the lines with a certain value:



          /(.*[WebContainer : (d+)]s*(.*))+s+.*[WebContainer : 2]s(.*)+s+.*[WebContainer : 2]s(.*)+/g


          The regex matches any number of any char up to '[WebContainer : ', then matches any number and a right Square bracket before matcing White Spaces.



          Then it starts all over Again (a new line), only here it uses capturing Group 2 to specify the number. This is repeated on the third line.



          Then replace the matches with :



          $1$3$4


          Now you will get one line per number, combining the 'sometihng' from each line.

          • This works for this particular case, but what if we don't know how many lines will the webcontainer: 123 will have (but a finite number). And forget about this something:)

          • You can't add an unknown number of lines. Then it becomes multiple matches and can't be replaced with back references.

          • If you want to add one line, you can add 's+.*[WebContainer : 2]s(.*)+' to the regex and '$5' to the replacement.
