RouterOS V7 new time based system comment

[AndriyChernov]

In RouterOS v7 there is a new time based system comment.

When exporting the configuration, an additional line is automatically added.

/export

# 2024-03-11 19:15:14 by RouterOS 7.14.1

I had to edit the routeros.rb file to avoid unnecessary configuration loading.

    cmd run_cmd do |cfg|
      cfg.gsub! /\\\r?\n\s+/, '' # strip new line
      cfg.gsub! /# inactive time\r\n/, '' # Remove time based system comment
      cfg.gsub! /# received packet from \S+ bad format\r\n/, '' # Remove intermittent VRRP/CARP collision comment
      cfg.gsub! /# poe-out status: short_circuit\r\n/, '' # Remove intermittent POE short_circuit comment
      cfg.gsub! /# Firmware upgraded successfully, please reboot for changes to take effect!\r\n/, '' # Remove transient firmware upgrade comment
      cfg.gsub! /# \S+ not ready\r\n/, '' # Remove intermittent $interface not ready comment
      cfg.gsub! /# (....-..-..) (..:..:..) |by RouterOS|/, '' # # Remove date and time of export
      cfg = cfg.split("\n").reject { |line| line[/^#\s\w{3}\/\d{2}\/\d{4}.*$/] }
      cfg.join("\n") + "\n"
    end

After adding the line “cfg.gsub! /# (....-..-..) (..:..:..) |by RouterOS|/, '' # Remove date and time of export” the configuration is no longer loaded unnecessarily.

Found issue in routeros.rb

cfg.reject! { |line| line[/^#\s\w{3}\/\d{2}\/\d{4}.*$/] } # Remove date time and 'by RouterOS' comment (v6)
cfg.reject! { |line| line[/^#\s\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}.*$/] }   # Remove date time and 'by RouterOS' comment (v7)
