Hi @harshal94 ,

If the format of the string going to be same, then you can use split also (much easier)

|stats count|eval xyz="fullFormattedMessage: Device naa.60000970000297500017533030313231 performance has improved. I/O latency reduced from 3746 microseconds to 1859 microseconds."|eval splitted=split(xyz," ")|eval micsecs=mvindex(splitted,mvcount(splitted)-2)
