Field extracting using Regex

I am trying to extract username & password from below event -

form_key=6LgmjzGyzOYLIf11&login[username]=dev_lee@gmail.com&login[password]=password&send= 

I am able to extract password properly but for username I am getting dev_lee%40gmail.com instead of precise email ID.
Below is my regex

login.*?username.*?=(?<splUsername>.*?)&.*?login.*?password.*?=(?<splPassword>.*?)&

Could someone please help me fix the problem.

Try this in addition to the urldecode..

.. | rex field=_raw "login\[username\]\=(?<username>[^\&]+)\&login\[password\]\=(?<password>[^&]+)\&send" | eval mail=urldecode(username) | ..

That should fix you up.

When searching your data you could use it like:

... | eval mail = urldecode(mail) | ...
