Any pointers on how to extract the third field
Event1: <>
Event2:
the third field is populated with double <<>> and sometimes with single <>.

regex for double<<>>

\s+<([^>]+\>)>

regex for single <>

\s+<([^>]+)

how to combine both?

First of all it seems your regex for double brackets is incorrect? Unless you want to match the inner brackets...I'm assuming this is what you want in my answer.

How about

\s+<(.+?>*)>
