Use different Regex in one search

Hello

I have a dashboard with a radio-button input. Depending on which value is selected, I want to use a different regex to extract some fields.
Example:

base search | if STATUS==$token_radiobutton$,regex1,regex2 | table extracted fields from regex

How can I solve this problem?

Thanks a lot

It might be messy but you could create another input that loads based on the radio button that sets its variable to the REGEX that you would want to run, then, you pass that input's variable into the regex pipe.

For example

base search | if STATUS==$token_radiobutton$,regex1,regex2 | table extracted fields from regex

Set the input's token value to the field STATUS

Then on the dashboard

base search | regex $STATUS_TOK$ |
