some of the regex were truncated....
|rex "(?m)(?.)"|rex "(?m)(?.)"|rex "(?m)(?.)"|rex "(?.)" |rex "(?.)"|rex "(?.)" | rex "(?.)" | rex "(?.)" |rex "(?.)" |rex "(?.)"|rex "(?.)"| rex "(?.)"|rex "(?.)" |rex "provZipCode assigned to zipCode:(?.)"| rex "memZipCode assigned to zipCode:(?.*)"

Just so you know, there is special markup language on this site so certain symbols will transform your post. If you wrap a word in the asterisk symbol * or _, without wrapping it in a code sample, it will italicize the word. If you wish to show the * (i.e. you are displaying sample code), simply click on the Code Sample icon to the right of the Blockquote icon in the formatting toolbar. That is how I was able to edit your post so that the * will display.

Seems to be a browser compatibility issue. I was able to avoid this error by doing the following:

Workaround: Use Firefox as your browser,I experianced the same issue. After reading other above mentioned posts, I guessed it might be a browser compatibility issue with the posting, so I opened Firefox (was using Chrome) and everything began working as expected.

Work-around: Use Firefox instead of Chrome

really? The answer is Chrome isn't supported in Splunk 7.0?

THANK YOU.
you saved me so much time, I would have never thought the browser to be the issue, it seemed like such a splunk-side problem..

@worm929 @codeassassin, do look at the the first answer posted by @somesoni2 where Google Chrome Browser Extension may cause this error. So try to stop any browser extensions that might be running and test.

We noticed issue with saving Knowledge Object configurations where error for Unexpected Token would pop up however, the configuration would get saved. On stopping Chrome Extension, the error was fixed.
