Hi,

(?:Subject\:)(?:[\r\n]{2})(?<Subject>.+)(?:[\r\n]{2})(?=Created)
or
(?:Subject\:)(?:[\r\n]{2})(?<Subject>.+)

Both work.

Also as splunk syntax:

| rex field=_raw "(?:Subject\:)(?:[\r\n]{2})(?<Subject>.+)"

I tried the above regex, none of them extracts the fields. My main aim is to extract a new field called Subject from the event logs.
