In few logs I can see escape character is also printed. My rex is working fine when i am testing it on regex101.com but when i use the same in Splunk Search, its throwing error. I tried different combination by putting quotes but then different error comes.

Hi @MrIncredible,

please try this regex:

| rex "eligibiltyStatus\\\": \\\"(?<eligibiltystatus>[^\\]+)"

Ciao.

Hi @MrIncredible,

try to add another backslash to your regex in Splunk:

| rex "eligibiltyStatus\\\": \\\"(?<eligibiltystatus>.*?)\\\"\,\\n"

ciao.
