How do you extract a field using regex?

00000887 ThreadMonitor W WSVR0606W: Thread "WebContainer : 24" (00000887) was previously reported to be hung but has completed. It was active for approximately 1386249 milliseconds. There is/are 0 thread(s) in total in the server that still may be hung.

Here, I want to extract 1386249 and thread count using a regex expression.

Try (?<milliseconds>\d+)\s+milliseconds\D+(?<thread_count>\d+).

The above regex should work , but this should take care of the singular / plural aspect of the number of threads - Please remove spaces before msec and threads in the regular expression below.

"approximately\s+(?< msec>\d+).*?[is|are]\s+(?< threads>\d+)"

If you enter the regex string as code by indenting four spaces or surrounding it with backticks there's no need to mangle it.

This expression won't work if it contains literally "is/are" as in the example.

Thanks for the tip about entering the string as a code.
If the string is going to be 'is/are' always you are right (this wont work).
I was guessing it would be either 'is' or 'are' based on the number of threads.

Try this regex string.

"approximately (?<msec>\d+).*?are (?<threads>\d+)"
