How to Extract Any Values With a Decimal in my Rex String

Hello,

This may be an easy one, but I've been struggling with finding an answer for it.

I have events that look like this:

2021-06-11 17:22:13 Error at Position 1.1232 45.3285
2021-06-11 17:20:31 Error at Position -6.6351 32.3882
2021-06-11 17:19:14 Error at Position -21.1287 4.9063

 

The first number is an x coordinate and the second is a y coordinate. I am trying to extract these values with a regex string that look like this:

| rex field=_raw "Error\sat\sPosition\s(?<x_coord>.\d+.\d+)\s(?<y_coord>.\d+.\d+)"

 

However, this won't allow me to get values with just a single number followed by a decimal (ie. 1.1232). If I get rid of the dot at the beginning of each then it won't get any of the negative signs. 

How can I rewrite this rex string to get all of the values?

Try this 

| rex field=_raw "Error\sat\sPosition\s(?<x_coord>[^\s]+)\s(?<y_coord>[^\s]+)"
