Extracting Fields & Regular Expression Formating

I have Active Directory logs that do not have many fields associated with them. Each log is over 100 lines and I wish to extract a lockoutTime field that is further down in the bottom of each log. When going to extract the field I cannot do the automatic method because it only shows me the first 15 to 20 lines. Is there a way to show the entire raw log to do an automatic scroll over extraction? If not how would I format the regular expression where my line is lockoutTime=0 and I want to extract lockoutTime to see all of the results for that field across my logs?

Write your own regex to extract the field. Start with this

lockoutTime=(?<lockoutTime>\d+)
