View Regex of Extracted Field

I've written a regex to extract a field. It works perfectly fine, but I wish to copy it down for future use. Is there any way to view the regex of an extracted field?

I was looking around and I found the answer here: http://answers.splunk.com/answers/36296/how-to-edit-or-delete-a-custom-field.html

"In Splunk Web, you navigate to the Field extractions page by selecting Manager > Fields > Field extractions."

I gave up trying to deal with the interface, so I just grepped "regex" in my splunk folder instead and found what I was looking for. I'm sure there's a much simpler way to do this.

In a way. Take a look at the output from this:

| rest /services/configs/conf-transforms | search MyFieldName
