Problems with extracting fields

Hey guys,

I'm trying to use regular expressions but can't get my head around it. I'm receiving lines such as:

u'C:\\Users\\User\\Downloads\\pyClamd-0.3.4\\SplunkClam\\Virus_txt\\Virus': ('FOUND', 'Eicar-Test-Signature')

u'C:\\Users\\User\\Downloads\\pyClamd-0.3.4\\SplunkClam\\Virus_zip_pass\\Virus.zip': ('FOUND', 'Heuristics.Encrypted.Zip')

u'C:\\Users\\User\\Downloads\\pyClamd-0.3.4\\SplunkClam\\Virus_txt\\Virus': ('FOUND', 'Eicar-Test-Signature') 

u'C:\\Users\\User\\Downloads\\pyClamd-0.3.4\\SplunkClam\\pyclamd.pyc': ('FOUND', 'Eicar-Test-Signature-1') 

u'C:\\Users\\User\\Downloads\\pyClamd-0.3.4\\SplunkClam\\Virus_zip_pass\\Virus.zip': ('FOUND', 'Heuristics.Encrypted.Zip')

and would like to extract the destination and the ('FOUND' 'VIRUS_NAME') fields separately to create an app. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi SplunkUser5888,

somehting like this should get you started:

YourBaseSearchHere | rex field="_raw" "'(?<myDest>.+)'\:\s\('(?<myFound>.+)'\,\s'(?<myVirus>.+)'" | table myDest, myFound, myVirus

this will create a table of three fields for you:

  • myDest=C:\\Users\\User\\Downloads\\pyClamd-0.3.4\\SplunkClam\\Virus_zip_pass\\Virus.zip
  • myFound=FOUND
  • myVirus=Eicar-Test-Signature-1

cheers, MuS
