Hello Splunker

 

usernames in my environment are shown as  :

user=Company\username@AD#

 

where the # is a number

and some users are shown as:

user=Company\username$@AD#

 

the username has many variations"

  • only numbers
  • only letters
  • combination of both

 

i want to extract only the username with the other letters

 

thanks ^_^
