Trying to figure out how to extract a field using regex to capture the entire string. Only problem is there are a bunch of slashes throughout. Sometimes one, sometimes 3, etc. I've tried variations of commands I found in the documentation but no luck. is this possible?
Example String of Field I want to extract with all the context appended to one another minus the slashes:
\"\\\"Field1\\\":\"context"\\\",\\\:"\"context"\\\",\\\:"\"context"\\\",\\\:"\"context"\\\",\\\:"\"context"\\\"context\\\\\\\context\\\\\\\\Field2
Want it to be extracted like this: Field1="context","context" etc so slashes are eliminated. Appreciate any help.
You can simply remove the backslashes like this
| rex field=_raw mode=sed "s/\\\//g"
However, I suspect this is not what you want, but what you want it unclear since all your data is "context". Are you expecting Field1 to be "context,context,context", or something else?

Thank you, that did the trick. I was trying to do everything through the field extraction page, but using 'sed' worked better. It kept all the context I needed and eliminated all the slashes.
