Hello SMEs:

I need some assistance extracting everything between the 5th and 6th "/" from URLs like the one below. 

Note: URLs may change.

The new value will be extracted to url field.

| rex field=<yourfield> "(?:[^\/]*\/){5}(?<url>[^\/]+)"

you can make use of same regex I shared above.

for example: 


1. Everything between the 3rd and 4th "/"  - lets call this "button_click"

for above: replace {5} with 4 and replace url with button_click

2. Everything between the 6th and 7th "/" - lets call this "domain_ref"

for above : replace {5} with 6 and replace url with domain_ref

Thanks so much @thambisetty ! This worked well!

I was just wondering, what would the new rex's be for capturing 2 new fields:

1. Everything between the 3rd and 4th "/"  - lets call this "button_click"

2. Everything between the 6th and 7th "/" - lets call this "domain_ref"

FROM:

Note: URLS and Button click types may change.

Thanks again for your quick turnaround!
