Splunk Search

How to edit my subsearch to look up a predefined field comprised of rex in my main search?

My subsearch contains this predefined field, and I'm trying to use it to search my main search that gets the field using rex, but I get no results.

I've tried a few different things:

host=blah... [search...| table my_field] | rex field=_raw "...<my_field>..."

host=blah... |rex field=_raw "...<my_field>..." | regex [search... | table my_field]

host=blah... | rex field=_raw "...<my_field>..." | regex my_field=[search...| table my_field]
