When trying to run curl command on Windows, why do I receive "'rex' is not a recognizable command" error?

Hi ,

I am trying to run curl command on windows command prompt . I am getting following error at 'rex' in the search query

curl -k -u admin:pass -d search=" search (host=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx) | rex field=_raw mode=sed \"s/abc/'/g\" "  -d "output_mode=csv" http://localhost:8089/servicesNS/admin/search/search/jobs/export

I am getting following at 'rex'

'rex' is not recognizable command 

Thanks,
Santosh

It sounds like Windows is processing the pipe character within the search query instead of passing it on as part of the curl command. Try escaping the pipe.

curl -k -u admin:pass -d search=" search (host=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx) ^| rex field=_raw mode=sed \"s/abc/'/g\" "  -d "output_mode=csv" http://localhost:8089/servicesNS/admin/search/search/jobs/export
