Hi, I want to parse files with lines as in attached file, I can do this with redis rules, but cannot get the "mandatory date" to work:
^\s*(?<msgnum>\d+)\)\s+(?<time>\d+\.\d+)\s+(?<type>\w+)\s+(?<COBid>[0-9A-F]+)\s+(?<len>\d+)\s+(?<data>.*)

<time> needs to be <d> but with something else so it can 12738.2 into 12738.2 seconds

The "un-altered" file also contains "comment" lines that start with ";" and do not follow the format, but I have no idea how to get the parser to ignore these.

Also: With the pattern parser I could not find anyway to indicate 1 or more white spaces between elements
