How to write a regular expression to extract this 3 digit number from my sample events?

I have these statements I am trying to extract the "200" from, but this number could be any three digit number though.

<117>Sep 01 16:19:12 ip-10-255-55-21 SLAVE[prodr35e-core_24322]: 10-255-55-21 10-255-55-21 - 2016-09-01 16:19:12 86 GET /search?keyword=true&sortKey=4&start=2100&count=s=false&marketPlace=true HTTP/1.1 ?keyword=true&sortKey=4&start=2100&count=60&s=false&marketPlace=true 200 33687 "Jak Commons-HttpClient/3.1"

I just can't seem to get my regex to work for all of these statements, help would be highly appreciated!

regex might not be what you want to use, You have several 3 digit numbers, however it seems like the data is all of a uniform format with spaces between fields. Using split you could do

eval temp=split(_raw," ") | eval status=mvindex(temp,15) | fields - temp
