Right now Im using

rex field=cs_uri_path "^.*\/(?[^.\/]+.(?:[^.\/]){3,4})$"

but im missing files like blah.1.0.8file.exe
and double extensions like .pdf.exe

I cant seem to adjust to pick out these exceptions

Try this:

... | rex field=cs_uri_path "(?ms)(?<filename>[^\\\/\r\n\s]+)[\r\n$]"

That one wont work.
This is what I am using and it works fine i just need to have it be able to pick up files that may have "." in there names like blah1.0.8update.exe

"^.*\/(?[^.\/]+.(?:[^.\/]){3,4})$"

Why won't it work? Your seems tediously overcomplicated. Give me the exception where the simpler one fails.
