Hi, 

I have a  few fields in lookup from which I am trying to extract strings. I read that rex is what I should be using. 

Can anyone recommend how should I go about this ? 

I have attached lookup field and result of rex command that I want. 

 

- Thanks

Hi Rohan,

You can try this:
... your search | rex field="Title" "\:\s+(?<Name>[^\d]+)"

Assumptions:

- Names will always come between : and a digit.

Hope I was able to help you. If so, some karma would be appreciated.
