How to edit my regular expression to extract values from a logfile that begin with "FNR" and are 10 alphanumeric characters long?

I'm trying to use a regular expression to grab words out of a logfile that begin with "FNR" and are exactly 10 alphanumeric characters long, and save that to a new field called ErrorCode.

The expression I've written in a PCRE generator doesn't seem to work with Splunk. It's below:

(^|)FNR.......(|$)(?P)

How do I make it work with Splunk?

Is that 10 characters including "FNR" or after?

Try this regex (?<ErrorCode>FNR\w{7}).

BTW, www.regex101.com seems to do a good job of validating regular expressions Splunk will handle.
