You could add an attribute on the Line object to mark it as processed or
something when a match is found. You could then write another rule that
looks for unprocessed lines and retracts them.

Hello all,
This is the set of rules i have
rule "IP Route File rule"
salience 2000
when
Line ( line matches "^.*\s+show\s+ip\s+route\s*$" )
Line ( line matches "^.*\s+dest\s+address\s*$ )
file : FileFinder()
then
file.setFileType("ip route file");
drools.halt();
end
All I am doing in rules is, I read each line from the given file, convert
them into Line Objects and see if any of my
rules matches. There are about 50 such rules, that will help me
differentiate what kind of file is present in my input
directory.
The question I have , is there a way I can know if Line Object matched any
of the rules ? If a Line Object is not matched by
any of rules, I can just retract that object from the memory and prevent
Out of Memory Exception if the file size is huge
Thanks
Shiva
