How to extract part of a text from log events?

[jerin1982]

I am very new to regex and I need to extract anything that comes between "device_" and "_1_vol" as volume name.

"device_array02_im-wxs-vb004_p2_lun_215_1_vol
"device_array03_serverb_p2_lun_139_1_vol"

The below output is from the actual log

"Alert 0202 : The Read Latency of array Volume : device_array02_im-wxs-vb004_p2_lun_215_1_vol is at 125717.0 us"

I tried word boundaries but it's not working. Can someone please help me?

"(?P\bdevice\w+\b)_1_vol"

will something like this work?

device_(?<volumeName>.*)_1_vol

Hi, I can't really provide the specific regex code for you. But just incase you find suggestions, you can try it out here: http://regexr.com/
Just paste your samples and see if their regex code works.

And since you are also starting to learn regex like me, that site also provide information on how to use regex.
