What is the syntax to configure DELIMS= in transforms.conf for line breaking?

[hagjos43]

I'm ingesting a custom sourcetype (output from a powershell script). Within the transforms.conf, how do I set the DELIMS=linebreak? I see that it can be done, but I cannot find the syntax to do so. Essentially I'm asking what is the value I need to place after the DELIMS= to accomplish this?

Many thanks!

I know this is an old question, but the audience should be asking whether the purpose is to extract fields with a transforms DELIMS configuration, or to separate each line to a separate event as the LINE_BREAKER =([ \r\n ]+) setting in the answer below suggests.

Hi here is an example of usage:

props.conf:

[your_data_sourcetype ]
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false
LINE_BREAKER =([ \r\n ]+)
REPORT - delims= commalist

transforms.conf:

[commalist ]
DELIMS = ","
FIELDS = field1 , field2 , field3 ,
...

you can also use in your props.conf options like:

LINE_BREAKER =..... 
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false 
BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE = .....
MUST_BREAK_AFTER = .....
FIELD_DELIMITER =...

this separates lines into events, which may not be what is being asked, since DELIMS is used to do field extractions in transforms.conf.
