Hey, does anybody know how to filter out logcat messages that match regex \d{3}\.\d{10}, ?
Negative lookup (?!\d{3}\.\d{10},) doesn’t seem to work here for some reason.
The example message looks like this 2019-06-25 13:45:22.286 13313-13351/com.secretproject.alpha I/Http Response: │ 247.2145208724,
Filtering out based on TAG is not a feasible solution, because I need this to log out other responses.

Did you try .* in front of the negative look ahead?

[Ryan Mentley]

neither of those are correct, that's not how lookaheads work

[Ryan Mentley]

(?!\d{3}\.\d{10},) matches all strings, because you're looking for a string that contains a blank string that is followed by a number in that format

[Ryan Mentley]

which is...everything. it'll just match a blank string somewhere in the string

[Ryan Mentley]

Is the number at the end of the string? if so, assuming that Studio actually supports lookbehinds, you could do something like (?<!\d{3}\.\d{10},)$

[Ryan Mentley]

disclaimer: I didn't test that

[Ryan Mentley]

but that would be "the end of the line, assuming it's not preceded by something matching `\d{3}\.\d{10},`"

[Dico]

Right so you need to have ^.*?(NL)$ where NL is the negative lookahead

[Ryan Mentley]

that would also work, but only if it's at the end of the string

[Dico]

I reckon you dont need negative lookahead at all

[Dico]

Doesnt matter whether the number thing is in the matched text

[Ryan Mentley]

honestly though your best bet is probably to do this from the command line and then use grep -v or something

thanks for the help guys!
