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!

Try this

... | rex "\s(?<status>\d\d\d)\s" | table status

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
