Splunk Search

Search Query when having multiple right boundaries.

Hi i would like to get the commands from the below pattern. For example i am looking for search, content, gcom.suggestions.json, etc.

i have used the below query. In the rex i have mentioned to capture (at least i wanted to be) uri part which starts with / and ends with either ? (urls other than /content) or space (for /content uri there is nothing after this). But it is not working properly. Is this how this should be done? when you have multiple left and right boundaries.

sourcetype=access_combined_wcookie host=qalws* LR_VPT_HYBRIS | rex field=uri "(?i)/(?P<command>[\?|\s)" | top limit=100 command

Hi, I have tired and it is working but i wanted to exclude resources like js, css, img, etc.
Si have added this uri != "(?i).*.(?:js|css|png|img|png)" anything needs to be corrected in that?

sourcetype=access_combined_wcookie host=qalws* LR_VPT_HYBRIS uri != "(?i)..(?:js|css|png|img|png)" | rex field=uri "/(?P.?)[?\"]" | top limit=500 command
