Need a regex that extracts a string from event plus 6 characters after

Dear Splunk Community,

I need help extracting a string (CTJT) plus any 6 characters after. CTJT is the start of an error code and always the same, the 6 characters after are different but always 6 charaters. Meaning the full error code is 10 characters like this: CTJTAAB013

The error codes in the events are always on random positions, never fixed!

I need to extract the errorcode and evaluate it in a field:

 

CTJT*
| table errorcode
| eval errorcode = "I want to fetch the error code here"

 

 

I have tried substr but I cant find a method for fetching the first index of CTJT. Can anyone help me create a regex that does the above or maybe some other way?

 

Thanks in advance

Hello IT Whisper, any idea on why no results are show even though there are 569 statistics show? When clicking on events I can see all events.

Little edit:

When I include _raw in the table I can see the following:

But its missing CTJT in front of it.
