Dear Experts ,
Need your help with regular expression. I have an XML tag in the field f.
I would like to extract all the characters including spaces (or) Special characters from this XML string <Rmk>.
I tried to use search | rex field=f "\<Rmk\>"(?<Rmk>\w*)"\<\/Rmk\>" , however this regular expression is not giving any output.

your help is much appreciated with this query.

XML Tag :

<Rmk>ABC*/ Work Direct---</Rmk>

Desired Output : ABC*/ Work Direct---

\<Rmk\>(?<Rmk>[^\<]*)\<\/Rmk\>

Bye.

Just add ... | spath input=f, like this:

|makeresults | eval f="<Rmk>ABC*/ Work Direct---</Rmk>"

| spath input=f
