Example:

body common control

      bundlesequence => { "test" };
}

bundle agent test

{
  classes:
      "every_dot_star" expression => every(".*", test);
      "every_dot" expression => every(".", test);
      "every_number" expression => every("[0-9]", test);

      "every2_dot_star" expression => every(".*", test2);
      "every2_dot" expression => every(".", test2);
      "every2_number" expression => every("[0-9]", test2);

  vars:
      "test" slist => {
                        1,2,3,
                        "one", "two", "three",
                        "long string",
                        "four", "fix", "six",
                        "one", "two", "three",
      };

      "test2" data => parsejson('[1,2,3,
                        "one", "two", "three",
