However, I really only care if the assetID is being displayed.  Any
suggestions?

Hmm. Hobbit seems to have not liked the digit range. 

Using assetID="[0-9abcdefABCDEF]{8}" is working. I'm not clear *why*
Hobbit didn't like my digit range when perl did, and I'm curious to
figure it out, but for now I'm happy that my check works.

I'm not clear what I'm doing wrong in my cont check in bb-hosts, and I
was hoping someone could help me out. My regular expression works fine
in perl: perl -e '$text = join "", <>; if ($text =~
/assetID="[0-9A-Fa-f]{8}"/) { print "OK\n"; } else { print "NotOK\n"; }'
< /tmp/vodbrowser.php

However, bb-hosts line fails on the regex check: 10.100.104.53
seachange-vod   # testip
cont=vod;http://mrteeny/vod/vodbrowser.php;assetID="[0-9A-Fa-f]{8}"

It *is* a webpage I'm trying to match... so the page starts with:

A handy tool for checking Perl-compatible regexes is pcretest, which is a mor=

direct way of checking since it uses libpcre like hobbit does.

I need to check the log string "ERROR  |", but i
don't know the right way to use the character "|"
not as OR 
I know that not exits a escape character in hobbit regex.

Any suggestions,

Thanks

I try to insert "\" in my hobbit-client.cfg, but not work

 LOG /mylog.log  %ERROR*\| COLOR=red

May be that i remember that Henrik say that no escape character are 
required?

Shouldn't that be ".*" instead of just "*" ?

  LOG /mylog.log  %ERROR.*\| COLOR=3Dred

I don't believe the backslash-escape is needed.
