> Currently SplitContent allows HEX and text sequences to be added. However, it is sometimes necessary to split on alternatives or based on different sections of a log file (sometimes indicated by "[SOME_TEXT]"), where the section name SOME_TEXT can obviously vary. Hence, regular expressions (or EL) should be allowed in the SplitContent processor when using the "text" option.
> It would also be great if it's possible to immediately extract relevant information from the split. For instance, create a RegEx that back-references SOME_TEXT in the aforementioned example. That way you could split files based on section markers yet immediately get rid of these markers. This additional request is a nice-to-have feature.
