In the LikeRule evaluate(...) method, the matcher uses the matcher.matches(...)
which checks for the whole string to match to. Shouldn't it be using the
matcher.find(), so that we do not log if a part of the log string matched the
pattern provided? Or is there any other way of doing that?
I am trying not to log messages that match \\b\\d{13,16}\\b
<filter
class="org.apache.log4j.filter.ExpressionFilter">
<param name="Expression" value="MSG LIKE
\\b\\d{13,16}\\b"/>
<param name="AcceptOnMatch" value="false"/>
</filter>
Thanks,
