Please give us a sample input file, sample line number, and explain how you know what you're looking for on that line, and then show us what output you want if you find it and what output you want if you don't find it.
Do you want to use a fixed string, a basic regular expression, or an extended regular expression to search for a matching line?

#include <auparse.h>
int ausearch_add_regex(auparse_state_t *au, const char *expr);

to scan logs, files, or buffers for something of interest. You may not use this in combination with any other search expression. The regu-
lar expression follows the posix regular expression conventions. The search results are at the record level and not the field.
