How to write the regex to split a single event to multiple events after a particular number of characters in a string?

[jyothishtj]

Hi,

I am trying to split an event to multiple events. I want to split after 12th character. The string contains space as well.
E.g,

aaaaa bbb aa aaaaa bcb aa accaa bbb aa.................................

I want to get aaaaa bbb aa as one event. aaaaa bcb aa as another event and so on

I tried with BREAK_ONLY_BEFORE and LINE_BREAKER parameters with different regular expressions, but not working. I gave SHOULD_LINEMERGE as false. Please help to create a way to achieve this.

Thanks,
Jyo

What about this?

^.{12}\s(?P.{12})

[jyothishtj]

I tried this , but not working

Sorry. Use this.

|rex field = _raw "^(?P<field1>.{12})\s(?P<field2>.{12})"

[songhyunho]

I'm sorry. I forgot the code sample setting.

|rex field = _raw "^.{12}\s(?P<newfield>.{12})"

Does:

LINE_BREAKER = .{12}()
SHOULD_LINEMERGE=false

Work?

Or possibly:

TRUNCATE=12

I tried the first option. It is working. But the truncate is giving only the first 12 characters as a single event
