Sorry, the double slash was messing with the result. Try this

| eval updated=replace(url,"(?<part1>\w+:\/\/[^\/]*\/[^\/]*)(?<rest>.*)","\1
\2")

It seems that the way you have phrased your question does not make it clear what it is you are trying to achieve - please can you give examples of the desired output so we might better be able to guide you to a solution?

Hi @jip31,

please try something like this:

your_search
| rex "^(https|http):(?<url>\/\/\w+\/\w+\/)"

that you can test at https://regex101.com/r/4kTIF3/1

Ciao.

Hi @jip31,

my regex puts in the url field the url until the fourth slash, or, if you prefer, the second section of it.

If you want in the reduced url also http or https, you could use this:

your_search
| rex "^(?<url>(https|http):\/\/\w+\/\w+\/)"

Ciao.

Hi @jip31,

the regex works on regex101.com: https://regex101.com/r/4kTIF3/2

could you share a sample of your logs?

Ciao.

Depending on what you need, there may be other ways to accomplish this. Are you just trying to capture the final value, or would it always be after the 4th / even if there were more after it?

It would have helped to know what you'd tried before so we wouldn't suggest the same expressions.

Have you tried (?<field1>(?:.*?\/){4})(?<field2>.*) ?

thanks it works but I would like to do the break in the same line, actually it's done on 2 lines

is it possible?

Please explain what you mean by this, perhaps with some sample events and what your desired output would be?

If the URL is https://xxxx/yyyy/test, I need to display

https://xxxx/yyyy

/test

in the same line

Hi @jip31,

let me understand, you want two fields from your url:

if this is your need, please try this:

your_search
| rex "^(?<url1>(https|http):\/\/\w+\/\w+)(?<url2>\/[^ ]+)"

if the url in another extracted field (called e.g. original_url), you could use:

your_search
| rex field=original_url "^(?<url1>(https|http):\/\/\w+\/\w+)(?<url2>\/[^ ]+)"

you can test the new regex at https://regex101.com/r/4kTIF3/3

Ciao.

it sounds like this but when I say that I want to cut after the fourfth /,  the double / after https have to be taken into account

so in my example, the cut has to be done just before / test

and other point, /test has to be cut and paste and not copy and paste

https://xxxx/yyyy/test
