Rex for drive letters

I only want to look at built in shares like A$-Z$, but not ADMIN$ or IPC$. Is there a rex expression that will allow me to do this?

rex field=share_name "(?[a-zA-Z]{1}+)\$+" works similarly, where I get A$, C$, D$, G$, etc; but it will also give me C$ from the end of IPC$ and N$ from the end of ADMIN$.

I guess what I need is to first only rex if there are two characters (letter + $)... Any help is appreciated.

What is in the share_name field? Just the short name, or a full url like \servername\c$?

Hi,

Please try below regex

| rex field=share_name "^(?<drive>[a-zA-Z]\$)"

Can you be a bit more specific than "it does not work"?

Second z should be Z I guess? 😉

But yes, that should do the trick. If the share_name contains a full UNC path, try "\\(?<drive>[a-zA-Z]\$)"
