Hi, i was hoping to extract all the fields after "CommandInvocation" that appears in the PS log but i wasnt able to extract properly. Does anyone have any idea?

My rex as follow: "(\n)+CommandInvocation((?.+))"

Sample:
Oct 10 10:10:10 1.1.1.1 Hostname INFO 4103 Hostname\user CommandInvocation(Stop-AgentJob): "Stop-AgentJob"
CommandInvocation(Format-List): "Format-List"
CommandInvocation(Out-String): "Out-String"

Expectation of field:
Stop-AgentJob
Format-List
Out-String
