Extracting multiple fields from a line

I have a line that contains 2 different fields that I need

Right now I have:
index=os sourcetype="xxx" | regex _raw="\d tests, \d assertions, \d failures, \d errors"

Which returns for example:
2 tests, 2 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors

How can I extract the fields tests and failures? would it be possible?

Can you post some sample logs? Based on that people will be able to help you with field extractions.

regex filters results, use rex to extract fields in a search: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.1.1/SearchReference/rex

I'm guessing this:

... | rex "(?<tests>\d+) tests, (?<assertions>\d+) assertions, (?<failures>\d+) failures, (?<errors>\d+) errors"

However, without seeing your actual events that's only that, a guess.
