hi,

I have log with 3 columns

ID....TYPE...... DESC
1.......A............Member Since Year-2015
2...... B............Member Since Year-2014

Try this. It'll create a new field named year with the information you asked for:

your search here
| rex field=DESC "(?<year>Year\-\d{4})"

Assuming that DESC is already a extracted field

your base search | rex field=DESC "Member\sSince\s(?<member_since>.*)"

------------
Hope I was able to help you. If so, some karma would be appreciated.
