Python (re)

Log4j Pattern Layout Token in PY

Match Log4j / Logback PatternLayout conversion specifiers like `%d{yyyy-MM-dd}`, `%-5p`, or `%c{1}`.

Pattern

regexPY
%(?:-?\d+)?(?:\.\d+)?[a-zA-Z](?:\{[^}]*\})?   (flags: g)

Python (re) code

pyPython
import re

pattern = re.compile(r"%(?:-?\d+)?(?:\.\d+)?[a-zA-Z](?:\{[^}]*\})?")
input_text = "%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} [%-5p] %c{1} - %m%n"
for m in pattern.finditer(input_text):
    print(m.group(0))

Stdlib `re` module — no third-party dependency. Works on Python 3.6+.

How the pattern works

% starts a conversion specifier. (?:-?\d+)? optionally matches a width modifier (negative for left-justify). (?:\.\d+)? optionally matches a max-width. [a-zA-Z] captures the conversion letter (d=date, p=priority, c=category, m=message, n=newline, etc.). (?:\{[^}]*\})? optionally matches a parameter in braces.
