Help with regex

I have the below sample data

sample 1
`<TargetCode key="Zip5">78216</TargetCode>`

sample 2

<adm:TargetCode key="Zip5" account="1">78216</adm:TargetCode>

I am using the below regex
*\"Zip5\"|>(?<ZipCode>.*?)\<\/.* ...but this is not extracting the one in sample 2.

Thanks in advance

Please try the following run anywhere code based on your sample data:

| makeresults
| eval sample="<TargetCode key=\"Zip5\">78216</TargetCode>"
| append [| makeresults
| eval sample="<adm:TargetCode key=\"Zip5\" account=\"1\">78216</adm:TargetCode>"]
| rex field=sample "key=\"Zip5\".*\>(?<Zip5>[^\<]+)\<\/"
| table sample Zip5

Your data seems to be xml. Any reason for not having KV_MODE=xml in props.conf or not using spath with your raw data?

Which value you want to extract and what's the field name? Please format the code/regex by selecting it and pressing Ctrl+K so that formatting is retained.
