I have my xml data HERE, I need to extract using Splunk IFX, Generated pattern (regex).

Example Xml: (22/7)17:53 Accident on AYE (towards Tuas) after Jurong Port Rd Exit. Avoid lane 3./d:Message

I have this expression that extract from word after until Exit.
(?i) after (?P.[^.]*?Exit)

As this look for word Exit only, how do I add other situation such as Rd|Entrance ?
I tried (?i) after (?P.[^.]*?(Exit|Entrance|Rd)), it gives me Invalid regex: no named extraction at position 39 (i.e., "?(Exit|Ent..."). Expected "(?Ppattern)"

Splunk doesn't like unnamed groups. Hope this will help some people 😃
