[drraw-users] Templates

[brevius at tlen.pl]

Finally I created working template :-) It looks as follow:
Basic RE: (.+)-lspvcstats-(.+)-.+
Selection RE: $1-$2
(.+)-lspvcstats-(.+)-(.+).rrd: $1-lspvcstats-$2-.+.rrd

Data Source Configuration has File RE:
(.+)-lspvcstats-(.+)-(.+).rrd
DS: bitsIn

The main idea is to chose from the templeate files basing on $1 and $2 values and create graph for following files:
$1-lspvcstats-$2-(.+).rrd

It woks - so the graph is created, but I'm wondering what I need to type in Label/Format field to get here part of the filename used fir graph creation.
In working graph (used to create the template) I simply used $1, but in this case $1 displays "1" for all files.
Do you have some hints?
