regex question...

Hi,

I have an inputs.conf that has the following whitelist:

whitelist = (?i)vpxd-\d{5}\.log

The 5 was originally a 4, which relates to a pid number attached to the log. I found out the hard way, that the pid switched from 4 digits to 5 digits. My question is, how can I setup a regex that will handle any number of digits?

Use the + quantifier:

(?i)vpxd-\d+.log
