In logs there are multiple lines printed like below  and I want to print all of them in a table but my search query only prints one value , need help to print multiple records 

Balance amount is zero for invoice id:20220402-126-12300-A

Balance amount is zero for invoice id:20220502-126-12300-B

Balance amount is zero for invoice id:20220602-126-12300-C

Hello @jimish ,

Please try using the "max_match" command on the rex definition. Like this one:

| rex max_match=0 field=_raw "Balance amount is zero for invoice id:(?P<InvoiceExceptionNo>\S+)"
| table InvoiceExceptionNo
