[Orca-dev] Re: Beta orcallator.se that generates new log file names

[Blair Zajac]

I forgot to mention that you'll need to update the find_files in
orcallator.cfg{,.in} from

find_files
@ORCALLATOR_DIR@/(.*)/(?:(?:orcallator)|(?:percol))-\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}(?:\.(?:Z|gz|bz2))?

to

find_files
@ORCALLATOR_DIR@/(.*)/(?:(?:orcallator)|(?:percol))-\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}(?:-\d{3,})?(?:\.(?:Z|gz|bz2))?

The new text is (?:-\d{3,})?
