Hi Logstash Team,

Need to filter out a field till the end of the line in dissect filter. Is it possible to do it using dissect. Came to know that from logstash 6.0, if the config in logstash.yml  
config.support\_escapes: true is enabled then, escape characters in string is considered.

```
dissect {

                         mapping => {
                                balsdata => "%{}Privacy:%{Privacy:}\n%{}"
                       }

```

Is this possible? When I tried the above it didn't work for me.

Thanks  
George
