Need help extracting\creating a new field between 2 fixed words.

Example:

!CASH OUT         $100.00!                        !TOTAL

!CASH OUT and !TOTAL are fixed, but the value amount in between ($100.00) changes. I would like to create a field, so I can field the events by the cash out amount ect.

I have tried the below search, but it doesn't return any results

"!CASH OUT" "!TOTAL" | rex "!CASH OUT (?[^!]+)!TOTAL"

Thank you, any assistance will be much appreciated

| rex "!CASH\s+OUT\s+\$(?<cash>[\d\.]+)!\s+!TOTAL"

Hi

Try this rex

!CASH\sOUT\s(?P<output>.+)\s!TOTAL

OR

!CASH\sOUT\s(?P<output>[^!]+)!\s!TOTAL
