I need to check the log string "ERROR  |", but i
don't know the right way to use the character "|"
not as OR 
I know that not exits a escape character in hobbit regex.

Any suggestions,

Thanks

I try to insert "\" in my hobbit-client.cfg, but not work

 LOG /mylog.log  %ERROR*\| COLOR=red

May be that i remember that Henrik say that no escape character are 
required?

Shouldn't that be ".*" instead of just "*" ?

  LOG /mylog.log  %ERROR.*\| COLOR=red

I don't believe the backslash-escape is needed.
