need to omit certain characters in the field and display only the required string

[kite94]

Hello,

i am trying to display only the required strings, this is a description field, would like to omit and display the meaningful contents

Actual description

.UnknownEngineIDException:  parsing failed. Unknown engineId 80 00 00 09 03 10 05 CA 57 23 80 for address 1.5.6.3 . Dropping bind from /1.5.6.3.

Required description

engineId 80 00 00 09 03 10 05 CA 57 23 80 for address 1.5.6.3

There are a number of ways this might be done - here is one way

| rex mode=sed field=description "s/(^.*)(engineId.+for address \S+)(.*$)/\2/g"
