Time prefix ;

I have events that end and start with :

orderLock;null;
2013-11-07 05:55:38.431; Log entry......
162405913;;
2013-11-07 05:55:38.431; Log entry......
;;
2013-11-07 05:55:38.431; Log entry......

I have the time strip as:
TIME_FORMAT = %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%3N;
But I want to include the ; at the end of the log entry on the line before the next log entry what regex should I use with the TIME_PREFIX =

TIME_FORMAT = %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%3N
TIME_PREFIX = [\r\n]+

Truthfully, these setting should work fine...

It's a bit unclear what you want to do. Do you want the last ; on the line preceding the timestamp to be part of the same message as the timestamp? In that case it has nothing to do with the TIME_PREFIX, but rather with the line-breaking of the event stream.
