I need to split the below log files to like excel table.

My Log file is:

2022-05-25 13:00:02 100.200.190.70 - test [12345]dele /TestingFile+-+END+-+GOD+WEL+SOONER+-+SFTP.txt - 220- 105 - 443
2022-06-30 12:05:08 200.231.150.150 - welcome [98765]created /TestingFileFromSource+-+COME+-+THE+END+Server+-+FileName.csv - 226 - 19 - 22

Expected Result is: ( I tried some regular expression but no luck)

Field1 Field2 Field3 Field4 Field5 Field6 Field7 Field8 Field9
2022/05/25 13:00:02 100.200.190.70 test 12345 dele TestingFile END GOD WEL sooner SFTP.txt 220 105 443

Hi @gcusello - Thank you for your support, It is working fine now.  How to remove "+-+" in the field6. I need only file as TestingFileFromSource COME THE END Server FileName.csv instead of TestingFileFromSource+-+COME+-+THE+END+Server+-+FileName.csv

Hi @nayagan,

please try this regex

^(?<field1>\d+-\d+-\d+ \d+:\d+:\d+)\s+(?<field2>\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+)\s+-\s+(?<field3>\w+)\s+\[(?<field4>\d+)\](?<field5>\w+)\s+\/(?<field6>.+)-\s+(?<field7>\d+)\s+-\s+(?<field8>\d+)\s+-\s+(?<field9>\d+)
