@Plugin(name="RegexFilter",
        category="Core",
        elementType="filter",
        printObject=true)
public final class RegexFilter
extends AbstractFilter

This filter returns the onMatch result if the message matches the regular expression. The "useRawMsg" attribute can be used to indicate whether the regular expression should be applied to the result of calling Message.getMessageFormat (true) or Message.getFormattedMessage() (false). The default is false.
