I think you want a PairWithWindow rule not a pair rule. See if: type = pairwithwindow desc = match starting line and extract elements ptype = regexp pattern = blah (\w+) blah (\w+) rem = action if event B does not occur after event a within window action = none desc2 = match not first element with second element ptype2 = substr pattern2 = blah [!]$1 blah $2 rem = action if event B occurs after event a within window action2 = .... window = 120 does what you want. -- -- rouilj John Rouillard =========================================================================== My employers don't acknowledge my existence much less my opinions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ Simple-evcorr-users mailing list Simple-evcorr-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/simple-evcorr-users
