SPL

Hey Experts, I'm new to splunk and I'm trying to extract APP WEB and MNOPQ from a field called result. Can someone please guide me on how to achieve this? Any help or example queries would be greatly appreciated. Thank You!

Fi a:\abc\def\MNOPQ.txt content is expected to include "A H Dis Query,0,0"
Fi a:\abc\def\APP.txt content is expected to include "A H Dis Query,0,0"
Fi a:\abc\def\WEB.txt content is expected to include "A H Dis Query,0,0"

Hi @gcusello @ITWhisperer 

| rex field=result "\w:\\\\\w+\\\\\w+\\\\(?<myfield>[^\.]+)"

The above query extracts, but if i want to extract APP and WEB which is in same line how to extract ?

Fi a:\abc\def\MNOPQ.txt content is expected to include "A H Dis Query,0,0"
Fi a:\abc\def\APP.txt content is expected to include "A H Dis Query,0,0" Fi a:\abc\def\WEB.txt content is expected to include "A H Dis Query,0,0"
Fi a:\abc\def\SQL.txt content is expected to include "A H Dis Query,0,0"

Use max_match

| rex max_match=0 field=result "\w:\\\\\w+\\\\\w+\\\\(?<myfield>[^\.]+)"

Note that this will give you a multivalue field

Hi @Muthu_Vinith ,

you should use a regex like the following:

| rex field=result "\w:\\\w+\\\w+\\(?<myfield>[^\.]+)"
