Hi @SabariRajanT,

please try this:

| rex "\"md5\":\"(?<md5>[^\"]+)"

that you can test at https://regex101.com/r/DPpHQi/1

@gcusello  Thanks for your quick response. 

The rex which you provided it doesn't work for other data which has MD5. one thing I notice in logs before md5 that starts with "","" and end with "","". Using that can you provide rex.

 

"",""md5"":""b147fbdbd44374f73a763531c8d1093d"",""sha1"":null,""

Hi @SabariRajanT,

Please, share some additional samples, because, as you can see, using the sample you provided it's running.

Hi  @SabariRajanT,

as you can see at  https://regex101.com/r/DPpHQi/3 

the first regex perfectly matches the sample you shared

| rex "\"md5\":\"(?<md5>[^\"]+)"

What's the behaviour of your regex? why do you see that it doesn't run?

Ciao.

Giuseppe
