Package: multitail
Version: 4.2.0-1
Severity: minor
Hi,
multitail can match regex in files and color the string as 
specified in multitailrc.
But something seems to be strange when matching '-':

echo Foo-Bar|egrep '[[:alnum:]\-_\^]+'
Foo-Bar

So the regex matches.

To color such a string I use is
cs_re_s:magenta:^....-..-.. ..:.. <([[:alnum:]\-_\^]+)>

This should match on a file like this:
xxxx-xx-xx xx:xx <Foo-Bar> fooo

This should color Foo-Bar in magenta but somehow it doesn't.
Kind regards
Nico
