How to write Field Extractions from Complex/inconsistence Event Structure

Hello, I have events with complex/inconsistence data structure. Need to extract field 2 values under 2 different fields. The regex I wrote is not working for all cases. My regex and sample events are given below. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

 

Regex I wrote:

^\w*\|\w*\|\w*\|\w*\|\w*\|\w*\|\w*\|\w*\|\w*\|\w*\|\w*.\w*.\w*.\w*\|\w*\|(?P<CODE>\d*)\|\w*\|(?P<ERRORMSG>\w*)\| (working only for First and Last events)

 

Sample events:

4CODEREG|REGT|MEF|IFA|REMOVE||||1234567890|bUnXG_o0PbpgAY2Go6F6jWWh|105.103.110.91|SAAS_BFAF_AUDIT|00|00|||20220419074638|||||<TRANSACTIONDATA><StatusMessage>GTX Key 202210954371398 Removing file: /opt/mef/temp/Attachments/IN//K20220419074627.3410.37570.68836.46248.co1rprdljap1s0l</StatusMessage></TRANSACTIONDATA>

NOTE: First event doesn't have any values for ERRORMSG  (High Lights are values)
