Splunk Search

What regex search could I use to find fields that contain exactly 6 digits?

I need to search for fields that contain exactly 6 digits.

For example, it should return fields that contain "123456".

I'm currently trying regex_raw="\d{6}" but I think I'm missing something or doing something wrong. Any help would be appreciated!

Something like this might work

(?<!\d)\d{6}(?!\d)

Try this

<your search query> | rex field=_raw "(?<six>\d{6})" | search six=*

let me know if this helps!

regex "\d{6}" should work. What results are you getting? Can you share the full query in case the problem lies elsewhere?
