Hi

I have a input like  
2018-12-12 10:34:51,357 [SocketAcceptorIoProcessor-1.0] INFO msg.incoming - FIX.4.4:xxxx-\>hhhh/hhhhfix: 8=FIX.4.4

where therest is in the form of Code=value\x01 delimited by \x1.

Now the problem is there is no order to code so it might come out as

34=sdsdf\x137=asasaas\x152=sdsdf\x1  
or  
52=sdsdf\x137=asasaas\x134=sdsdf\x1

so I built a

grok {  
break\_on\_match =\> false  
match =\> [ "message" =\> " %{GREEDYDATA:msg} "  
#multi matchs for the different codes - but it not working !  
match =\> ["msg" =\> "(?\<\>code)"]  
match =\> ["msg" =\> "(?\<\>code)"]  
match =\> ["msg" =\> "(?\<\>code)"]

}
