I have a directory C:\logs
in this directory I have multiple files:
1: logging-projectname-0.log (There can be multiple files like *-1.log, *-2.log etc..)
2: logging-projectname-batch-0.log (There can be multiple files like *batch-1.log, *batch-2.log etc..)
I only want to search the files like #1. So, I tried ---- source="c:\logs\logging-projectname-[0-9]{1,}.log" SEARCH_STRING
It's not working. Can anyone suggest?
Thanks in advance.

Another option would be this
your base search | regex source="c:\\\\logs\\\\logging-projectname-\d+\.log"

source uses wildcards, not regular expressions. somesoni2's suggestion should work.

Why don't you just use a wildcard like you mentioned it yourself?
Nevermind that.

This should be an OR, not an AND.

Oh, you're correct. I've misread that. Thought he wants only one but not the other one.
I'll edit it.
