Splunk alert base on return code

My file contains a line at the last where it mentions the return code. The format look like below mentioned. If the job fails, It returns 32 and if the job is successful it returns 0.

Main -> ** Execution completed with returnCode: 0,

Can some one help me in building a splunk query to alert me if the code is 32 or 0.
