Details.Context = "dgfhgjj <Property Name="Name" VariantType="8">TRIMWorkgroup</Property>"

field_name               irrelevant data            when Name="Name" i want the result value (TRIMWorkgroup) in this case as my field value in new field name called "Service"

Help me with a rex command for this.

Hi @chuck_life09,

let me understand:

when you have Name="Name", you want the string between ">" and "<", if this is your need, please try this:

 

| rex field=Details.Context "Name\=\"Name\"[^\>]+\>(?<your_field>[^\<]+)"

 

you can test the regex at https://regex101.com/r/ainfns/1

Ciao.
