Splunk Query related

I've written below query,

index=* sourcetype=* EventCode=* | rex field=_raw "((Process Command Line:\t)(?(.+)*))" |stats count by field.

Tried extracting "Process Command line" field. After extracting i can see that though it doesn't contain any value(not even spaces), Splunk is not taking it as NULL.Instead it is taking as if field has some command line.

Could you please help?

Please Provide the Sample log, So that we can see if is there any issue with rex or something else.

Normally rex syntax is like below.
(?<Field_Name>Regular_Expression)

Hi @rupesh67nikam,
I cannot read you search, you should insert it in Sample Code.

Anyway, in your regex I see spaces in field name (but could be a visualization error) and it's better not use them.
Then in stats count BY field command, you should use a field name (not field), e.g. something like

| stats count by Process_Command_Line

or

| stats count by "Process Command Line"

Ciao.
