Thank you, but problem is that i have other similiar events with Result so i need to specify exactly with this sintax.

Is this what you mean? Or can you provide examples of other events that you don't want to match?

| rex field=_raw "\sPOS\sStart\sCardType\:\s(?<CardType>\w+)\,\sTransactionType\:\s(?<TxType>\w+)\,\s"
