I have various search string under the field name entity:

        Entity
 1   ABC:BOOT2NDSUNQTR_MAINT4_sfsdfdsfsdf
 2   FSD:BOOT2NDSUNMONTH_MAINT3_erewrewre
 3    AFE:BOOTALLSUNMONTH_MAINT1_SecProd_DEV_sdfsdfdsf

and so on..
I want field such as BOOT2NDSUNQTR,BOOT2NDSUNMONTH_MAINT3 to be separated out and put it into a different field called jobname.Can you please help me in writing the regex for the same
