Regular Expression Confusion

[Richard Leadbetter]

Hi All

1st time post for me, and i am probably missing something really stupid, but does rundeck handle regular expressions differently? I have some output that i want to grab data from and i have built a regular expression to do this. It works when when i plug into test tools like "Regex101" but when i use the "Multiline Regex Data Capture" option, i contiunally get "empty map". 

The Regex i am using is: 

(\d+)(?=\s*bytes free\)$)

I want to run it against this kind of output:

devicename#

Looking to match the value 234946560. As i say, works fine in regex 101, what am i missing?

I am trying to get this working so i can start making a case for the company to cough up for a licence. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 
Thanks

Hi Rich,

Please try with the following regex ^.*\((.*)\s*bytes free\).*$.

^ -> key/value data start.
.* -> anything.
\) -> the parentheses character.
(.*) -> capture anything after the parentheses.
\s*bytes free\).* -> until this pattern (space, “bytes free”, parentheses, anything).
