Hello Splunk experts,

Can Splunk extract more then 6 regular expression in the same time?

Example:
sourcetype="imap"
| rex field=_raw "(?ms)(?Total.)^"
| rex field=capture "-(?.
)"
| rex field=dash "-(?.)"
| rex field=seconddash "-(?.
)"
| rex field=thirddash "-(?.)"
| rex field=fourthdash "-(?.
)"
| rex field=fifthdash "-(?.)"
| rex field=sixdash "-(?.
)"

The sevendash field is not appearing while i need to continue till the end and choose the last fields.

I am not exactly sure what you are trying to accomplish here. Can you show a sample of the raw event this would go against?


Would it be easier to do the regex all in one rex command?


Does the event have "-" seperated fields? If so, would it make sense to use a transform using DELIMS?


You can extract more than 6 fields.

Can you give a redacted sample of the events you're attempting to parse - the way you've approached this doesn't seem ideal...
