[SOLVED] Filter params when searching logs
«

Hi,
Am I just being stupid, is there a way to specify and explicit value when using the WUI to search the firewall logs?
eg: Going to Firewall>Logs>Normal View and searching for an ip of "192.168.0.1" and it would return 192.168.0.1* ie .1 and any combination of .1
....
I have found that a $ at the end seems to terminate the search so I have my answer, but now I am wondering are there any other permissable wildcards? "*" doesn't seem to work?

Hi there,
It's a full regex. Didn't even know that.
".*" is short for 0-n characters of anything. "1*" is short for 0-n characters of 1. So you need "1.*".
For the full thing see e.g.

PS: On a somewhat silly note the "." in an IP address is actually matched by "\.", otherwise it can match more.
