Question

I am new to regular expressions and I am finding it pretty hard to do this simple task. The entire string looks like

debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password
debug1: Next authentication method: publickey
debug1: read PEM private key done: type RSA
debug1: Enabling compression at level 6.
debug1: Authentication succeeded (publickey).
debug1: channel 0: new [client-session]
debug1: Entering interactive session.
debug1: Sending subsystem: sftp
Can't ls: "/home/dev/customer/*.out" not found
debug1: client_input_channel_req: channel 0 rtype exit-status reply 0
debug1: channel 0: free: client-session, nchannels 1
debug1: fd 0 clearing O_NONBLOCK
debug1: fd 2 clearing O_NONBLOCK
debug1: Transferred: stdin 0, stdout 0, stderr 0 bytes in 0.1 seconds
debug1: Bytes per second: stdin 0.0, stdout 0.0, stderr 0.0
debug1: Exit status 0
debug1: compress outgoing: raw data 343, compressed 184, factor 0.54
debug1: compress incoming: raw data 860, compressed 430, factor 0.50

I just need to check if something like *.out/text" not found exists in this string. It does exist in this case but I dont get the output as true

The regex I use is .*\*\..*" not found.* does not work. Could anyone help?

Answer 1

This works in multiline as well as singleline mode

(^.*?|.*?)\.(out|text).*?not found(.*?|.*?$)
