Didn't work out, the domain name here "windows`mathews`" where "windows" is like a static domain name i have in all the logs meaning I dont have anyother domains except "windows", I just want to grab the username out of it

That will work if your usernames only ever contain a-z 0-9 or _

This one will match any character up to a \

your base search | rex field=yourfieldname "windows\\(?.+?)\"

I was hoping something like this would work, this was generated through the erex , but needs some adjustments i guess

rex "(?i)windows\(?P[^\]+)"
