Hi,

I have some syslog logs and I need to extract the first words of a field values. The field value starts like this:

Site Corporate Windows AM\\Passed\\     

My result should be :       

Corporate Passed

Note: I can have also Unmanaged instead of Corporate and Failed insted of Passed, so I have 4 options:

Corporate Passed

Corporate Failed

Unmanaged Passed

Unmanaged Failed

That happens because of some additional escaping which is needed.

 

Try this version, which avoids needing a triple \ 

 

Site (?<site>\w+).+\\\\(?<result>\w+)

 

If my comment helps, please give it a thumbs up!

@marco_massari11 if you want extract multiple fields then try below-
Updated-

 

Site (?<field1>\w+)[^\\\\]+\\\\(?<field2>\w+)
