I have log statement as follows as

1.20131220.server-0.log:2013-12-20 09:38:00,852 [fewfg424] SUCCESS: The FTP Server [et - FTP SERVER] uploaded file [Transaction_2_113237579.csv] of length 1989 bytes from userid [EBIDWNID].
2.20131209.dbg.log:2013-12-09 17:52:12,435 [58c858c8] SUCCESS: File successfully uploaded using SFTP. Filename was [nv_afis_nav_download12092013145008.csv]. File length was [1403].
3.20131220.dbg.log:2013-12-20 09:36:35,575 [a468a] SUCCESS: File successfully uploaded using FTP. Filename [COR0083700_1.txt]. File length [5366] bytes.

I want to write a regex common to these three statements to extract the filename and file length and display in table.Can anyone say how to write a common regex to extract filename and length.

I agree with Ayn, but perhaps something like the following will be useful.

'... | rex ".*?\[(?<filename>[\S]*?)\].*\slength[^0-9]*(?<length>[0-9]+)" | ...'

All the more reason to use separate regexes, but I think this will help you.
(?i)file.*?\[(?<filename>[\S]*?)\].*\slength[^0-9]*(?<length>[0-9]+).

BTW, I like to use http://www.regextester.com/index.html for testing regex strings.

It is not extracting the correct filename.So i have updated my question with the complete log.Can you see to that log and suggest me the correct regex.

I concur with Ayn. Just name the fields the same on the three regex's and you will still be able query across them.

Why would you want one common regex? It's easier to split this up into separate regexes since your messages are pretty different.
