Hi Team,

I need to extract the string which is between the two different special characters using regex. Could you please assist on this? Thank you. Here is the string below where I need to extract the string provisionById which is between the semicolon and period charcter.

Method End: com.bi.gb.rest.endpoint.PolicyAdminEndPoint.provisionById;  Execution Time: 7

This line works for this specific example 

| rex field=_raw "\.(?<extacted_fieldname_here>\w+);"


Assuming that your targeted extraction field always lies between the period and semi-colon I think it should do it.

the "\w+" could potentially need to be change depending on what the characters are between the 2 special characters. But for this example it looks to be camelCase so \w+ should work.
