How to pattern match with the extracted field

Deprasad
Path Finder

I have a report generated with following fields,

Field 1 , Field 2, Field 3.

I have to create an alert based on the Field 1(it's a phone number field which consists 0-9 , - , +, *) value satisfying below condition.

• Number starts with 101 and is greater than 5 digits
• Number starts with *xy101 and is greater than 8 digits
• Number starts with *xy011 and is greater than 8 digits

Not 100% sure if you are or are not counting the digits you provided in your counts, or if the "xy" is literally "xy", but this matches the examples you provided:

| rex field="Field 1" "^(101)\d{3,}$|^\*xy(101|011)\d{6,}$"

See https://regex101.com/r/0bioQt/1

If this isn't quite right, please post real examples of fields you are looking to match, and ones you want to reject (do not alert on).

... | regex Field1="(^101\d{2,}|^\*xy[10]{2}1\d{6,})" | ...
