Splunk Search

Count occurance of regex.

I have a data set as such:

id=20121,name=jack,score=60,difficulty= French written exam- LEVEL:hard,class 232
id=20121,name=steve,score=23,difficulty=French written exam-LEVEL:medium,class 234

I wish to count the amount of hard exams and medium exams, i know this seems simple and i have tried with rex fieldname=examtype("hard) but i don't know how to count the occurances of each in one search.

If you have a field extracted for the class level then you could do this:

<your search> | stats count by class_level

Use the interactive field extractor to create the class_level field for you or whatever you want to call it. The link below will walk you through it in the docs.
