I think something like this might work:

LOG%/path/to/log/Log.File_ABC.*.log ERROR COLOR=red


C* means zero or more of the letter C, while .* means 0 or more of any 
character....

Also, it isn't "anchored" at the beginning/end, so you shouldn't need to 
add a .* to the beginning/end....

Hope that helps.
