How to edit my search to extract the last appended letter in a URI field and use eval to assign each letter a certain value?

Hi all,

I need to extract the last appended letter part in the URI field and use eval to term them as:
d = Detail
m = Hover
e = Edit
o = Home Page

My data below consists of this format "/15_digit_alphanumeric/Flag_I_need"
/ab0/o
/ab040000001BUXp
/ab03300000Fsmcs/e
/ab03300000EZAwx/m
/ab03300000Ejhtx/d

My current search is:

EVENT_TYPE=URI  URI=/ab0* | eval description=case(match(URI,"/ab0/o"),"Home Page", match(URI,"/ab0[a-zA-Z0-9]{12}"),"List Page", match(URI,"/ab0[a-zA-Z0-9]{12}/e"),"Edit Page",match(URI,"/ab0[a-zA-Z0-9]{12}/m"),"Hover") |...

But it only shows the "Home Page" correctly and shows all the other description value as "List Page".
Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks in advance.

Change the order of the entries in your case statement so "List Page" is last. It's the more general regex so the Edit Page and Hover entries don't get past it.
