Hi i currently have the following line in my search that search for system.net.webclient:

|rex max_match=0 "(?<module>(system.net.webclient))"

May i know how do i amend this to search for any syntax that match system.xxx.xxx so it work for all the module?

This actually works better if the data was more organize; sadly my data was not and it capture too many noise
