Transaction using regex or event -1

Hello,
I'm using a transaction command and what I want to do is find the next event that has the format "{DATE} INFO"
and then use the event previous to the found event.

Any ideas?

For example, endswith="{SEARCH}-1"

I have found a solution.

The solution I encountered is to create a new sourcetype and use the "SHOULD_LINEMERGE" boolean attribute with the property of BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE set with the regex of where the new statements should start.

Hope this helps
